Strahan not concerned about Beckham: 'His head is where it needs to be'

A New York Giants legend thinks the constant drama surrounding the club's superstar wide receiver is much ado about nothing.

Throwing his support behind Odell Beckham Jr. on Monday at the JustRivals.com Golf Classic, Michael Strahan said that he does more than enough to get himself ready.

"He busts his ass," Strahan said, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. "... I've seen this kid work. I've talked to him this offseason. His head is where it needs to be."

The most recent controversy involving Beckham followed his decision to stay away from early offseason workouts, which was reportedly related to his desire for a contract extension.

A regular OTA absentee in the later stages of his Hall of Fame career, Strahan isn't among those getting worried about a player sitting out a few voluntary practice sessions.

"Everybody gives him a hard time about missing a little OTAs. Hell, I didn't go to those things, so I'm the wrong person to be sympathetic for people who are giving him a hard time."

With two years remaining on his rookie deal, the Giants can likely afford to wait at least one more season before securing Beckham's future with a long-term deal.

Either way, it's likely only a matter of time before they make him the league's highest-paid receiver.

The former first-round pick has been a dominant playmaker from the moment he set foot on an NFL field back in 2014. Opening his pro career with a trio of Pro Bowl nods, Beckham has tallied more than 90 receptions, 1,300 yards, and 10 touchdowns in each of his first three seasons.
