Odell Beckham Sr. and Stacy Elliott had an inkling early on that their sons were gifted athletically.

The fathers of New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott spoke to Bossip at an event for Fathers F1rst, for which they're both ambassadors, about their sons and their work with the organization.

"The first time I noticed potential greatness in Ezekiel, I remember he was seven years old, he was playing little league football," Stacy said. "From the beginning, he played running back, and it seemed like every time he touched the rock, he would take it to the house."

They also spoke about what advice they gave their sons before they made it to the NFL, and confirmed whether they get their famous traits from them.
