Before most television cameras start rolling and fans enter the stadium, Odell Beckham Jr. practices making acrobatic, one-handed catches in pre-game warmups.It paid off for the rookie receiver.Beckhams spectacular, leaping, right-handed grab while falling backward and drawing an interference penalty was the talk of the NFL and the Internet on Monday.Everyone from LeBron James to Hollywood celebs Elizabeth Banks and John Cusack marveled at Beckhams touchdown catch in the New York Giants loss to Dallas on Sunday night.The greatest catch Ive ever seen, said James, who was an All-Ohio wide receiver in high school.Banks tweeted: Just back from the #AMAs and seeing replay of that Odell Beckman Jr. catch. OMG that was sick.Cusack compared it to David Tyrees helmet grab in the Super Bowl and Lynn Swanns diving reception in an earlier Super Bowl.Beckham, however, does it every day in practice and before games. This catch just happened to be in front of a national television audience against the Cowboys. His teammates, coaches and anyone who watched him play werent surprised.He practices that one-handed snag, said Eli Manning, who also threw the pass to Tyree that helped the Giants beat New England. Hes got big hands and great concentration and he can make those plays. That was a pretty great one.Beckham made several stunning catches at LSU, including a diving, one-handed grab against Iowa in the Outback Bowl.I saw him and Jarvis (Landry) do things like that on the practice field all the time. I mean all the time, LSU coach Les Miles said. They finally caught one on camera, I guess. Its something that we would have expected.NBC analyst Cris Collinsworth, a three-time Pro Bowl receiver in the 80s, repeated: That might be the greatest catch Ive ever seen.When asked about working on one-handed catches recently, Beckham said: Its something you just have to practice. The opportunity sometimes presents itself and you know you want to be prepared. That is one of those things that I have been doing for a long time. Jarvis Landry and I would always do that every day in practice. We wouldnt compete, but we would see who could make the most ridiculous catch.Many players work on one-handed catches in practice and afterward on the JUGS machine. Its not just receivers, either.Two-time All-Pro defensive end J.J. Watt catches balls one-handed before games, too. Of course, Watt has actually lined up as a receiver and has two TD catches this season.Its partially just hand-eye co-ordination before the game and its partially to warm up the hands a little bit, partially for fun, Watt said. The more you can do, the better athlete you can (be), the better youre going to be on the field. Its all part of it.San Franciscos Stevie Johnson said you can practice the one-handed catches by tossing the ball in the air and out of view and then trying to catch it, but when it comes to games, its a natural instinct for a soft-handed wideout — with a little assist from those sticky receiver gloves they wear, too.Its a little bit of both, the gloves and his talent, Johnson said. It was a solid catch.Several players have made amazing one-handed catches this season, including Carolinas Kelvin Benjamin, Chicagos Brandon Marshall, New Englands Rob Gronkowski, Philadelphias Jeremy Maclin and Miamis Mike Wallace.Buffalos Robert Woods got into the act Monday night against the New York Jets. Woods appeared to get his left arm tangled a bit with a defender, so he reached up with his right, gently bobbling the ball at first before controlling it with that one hand for a 27-yard gain.Benjamin rated Beckhams grab a 9.0 and joked that he only gets a 10 if he wouldve caught it with his eyes closed. Unlike Beckham and others, the Panthers rookie doesnt practice one-handed catches.One-handed catches are just reaction catches, he said. You just go to that zone at the moment. Its entertainment.Swann put Beckhams catch into perspective.I dont know how many times you throw that pass and how many times you actually catch it, the Hall of Famer said. He threw it to him one time, he caught it, and for a touchdown. There are a couple of things that make it phenomenal. Fact he caught it with two fingers and a thumb and didnt use all of his hand. He stopped that baby with two fingers and his thumb, thats hard to do.Colts veteran Reggie Wayne often draws a large crowd when he practices one-handed catches on a JUGS machine. His coach, Chuck Pagano, encourages players to work on it.If you make them in practice, youll make them in games, Pagano said. And thats what we talk about all the time. Its all about preparation.Wallace catches 100 balls per hand each day. He also thinks those super-sticky gloves are helping guys make these plays.Anything you do, if you practice it, youll get better, Wallace said.___AP Pro Football Writer Barry Wilner and AP Sports Writers Kristie Rieken, Will Graves, Steven Wine, Janie McCauley, Michael Marot, Tom Withers, Howard Ulman, Tom Canavan, Noah Trister and Steve Reed contributed to this report.___AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP_RobMaaddi Jahlani Tavai Lions Jersey .

A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Thursday night that Choo passed his physical and would be formally introduced in Texas on Friday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because there was no official announcement from the team. The Rangers scheduled a press conference Friday afternoon. The said only that it was to "announce a major free agent signing" and provided no other details. Choos deal, worth about $18.6 million per season, is the third-highest this off-season. The deal was agreed upon last weekend, but was pending the completion of the physical. Second baseman Robinson Cano got $240 million over 10 years from Seattle and outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, like Choo, a client of agent Scott Boras, signed a $153 million, seven-year contract with the New York Yankees. Choo started 150 games in centre field and had a .423 on-base percentage last season for Cincinnati in his only year with the Reds. He hit .285 with 21 homers and 20 stolen bases and scored 107 runs as their primary leadoff hitter. The Rangers will likely use Choo in left field because they have Leonys Martin in centre and Alex Rios in right. And Choo could be their leadoff hitter. The deal comes a month after the Rangers acquired five-time All-Star first baseman Prince Fielder in a trade with Detroit for second baseman Ian Kinsler, their primary leadoff hitter last season. Both Fielder and Choo will be under contract through the 2020 season. The Rangers, who won their only AL pennants in 2010 and 2011, missed the playoffs for the first time in four years. Texas scored only 730 runs, its fewest in a non-strike season since 1992. Choos deal calls for salaries of $14 million in 2014 and 2015, $21 million in 2016 and 2017, and $20 million in each of the last three years of the deal. There are also performance bonuses and a limited no-trade clause. Choo has a .288 career batting average and .389 OBP with 104 home runs and 427 RBIs in 853 major league games for Seattle (2005-06), Cleveland (2006-12) and Cincinnati.
