  "account": "East Rutherford - Odell Beckham Jr. has fought for a roster spot with the New York Giants this summer, just like an undrafted rookie would. Despite coming from a past of being undrafted, Beckham is determined to make his mark on this team. In the preseason finale against the Jets, Beckham had three catches for 53 yards and nearly made a diving catch on a deep seam pass from Jameis Winston. With the Giants needing to cut their roster to 53 players, Beckham is expected to be on the team for their season opener against the Dallas Cowboys on September 13. Beckham's place with the Giants is a dream come true for him, as it is where he started his career and where he wants to give his all.",
