When I was in Bristol last weekend for SportsCenter duty, I got to speak with former Cowboys safety
Darren Woodson, who's one of our
NFL analysts now. He said he was in Hawaii for the Pro Bowl, helping
Michael Irvincoach the team that had Beckham on it, and he couldn't believe what he saw. He said it was hard to describe, but that Beckham had an ability to shift and wiggle his hips during his routes that he's never seen before. He said Cleveland's Joe Haden was covering Beckham on a route in practice and got smoked and came back to the bench shaking his head because he couldn't understand how he'd been beaten.
"They tell you to watch the receiver's hips, not his eyes, because the hips don't lie," Woodson told me. "But Odell … his hips lie."
