REPORT.

IT'S ALWAYS A REPORT.

IT'S ALWAYS WHO'S NEXT, WHAT'S

NEXT.

I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE RUMORS.

NFL TEAMS WILL FIND TALENT

ANYWHERE.

RUGBY LEAGUES, SUMO WRESTLING.

WHAT ARE THE CHANCES A PLAYER

WITH NO COLLEGE EXPERIENCE

MAKES IT TO THE NFL?

TERRON BECKHAM IS THE COUSIN

OF GIANTS STAR ODELL BECKHAM,

JR. HE GRANTED US ACCESS TO

WATCH HIM TRACE AT THE TEST

FOOTBALL ACADEMY WITH KEVIN

DUNN.

NAMES OF THE GAME.

THIS BECKHAM HAD TO BE

DISCOVERED.

AT A VERTICAL JUMP

COMPETITION.

WHO ARE YOU?

WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?

WHAT PLANET ARE YOU FROM?

KEVIN DUNN IS THE CEO OF TEST

FOOTBALL ACADEMY IN NEW

JERSEY.

HE IDENTIFIED BECKHAM AS A

NATURAL.

HOW DO WE REPLICATE THAT?

Reporter: HE OFFERED HIM A

CHANCE TO TAKE HIS EXCELLENT

PEDIGREE AND CONSTRUCT AN NFL

PLAYER.

WHAT IF WE CAN CREATE AN

OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS KID TO,

YOU KNOW, TO COME ON BOARD AND

-- AND GIVE HIM THE SHOT THAT

HE HAS SO WANTED FOR SO LONG?

Reporter: HIS ROAD TO

BECOMING AN NFL HOPEFUL WAS

ANYTHING BUT ORDINARY.

THIS IS THE LAST VIDEO OF

BECKHAM PLAYING.

IT'S FROM HIGH SCHOOL.

BECKHAM DECIDED TO MOVE BEFORE

HIS SENIOR YEAR TO HELP

RELIEVE FINANCIAL STRESS ON

HIS FAMILY.

I WASN'T THINKING IT'S MY

LAST YEAR.

I WAS THINKING ABOUT WHAT I

COULD DO BEST TO HELP

EVERYBODY OUT EVEN IF IT MEANS

MY OWN SACRIFICE.

LOOK, I SACRIFICE LITTLE HERE.

Reporter: HE WAS THEN

FORCED TO LEAVE COLLEGE

FOOTBALL AND START A NEW LIFE

IN NEW YORK WHERE HE BECAME A

TRAINER AND FITNESS MODEL.

YOU KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO

PULL UP SOME PICTURES OF YOU.

THEY'RE DOING IT NOW.

YOU'RE GETTING A TASTE OF

IT NOW.

AFTER FIVE YEARS, THIS 23-YEAR-

OLD MAN IS NOW READY TO GIVE

THE NFL ONE MORE SHOT AND SO

FAR HE IS BREAKING RECORDS.

HIS COMBINE BENCH PRESS IS 42

REPS AT 225 POUNDS.

THE RECORD FOR A RUNNING BACK

IS 32.

AND IN FRONT OF US WITHOUT

SHOES ON, HE JUMPED WHAT WOULD

BE AN NFL COMBINE RECORD 45"

VERTICAL.

A SCOUT WOULD SALIVATE AT

THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE A GUY

WITH THIS KIND OF STRENGTH,

EXPLOSIVENESS, SPEED AND

POWER.

HE IS NOT ONLY GOING TO BREAK

RECORDS FOR JUST THE RUNNING

BACKS BUT HE IS GOING TO BREAK

RECORDS FOR SOME OF THE ALL

TIME COMBINE RECORDS.

THAT'S THE POINT HERE.

Reporter: THE SPECIALTY FOR

THIS FACILITY IS WHAT NFL

TEAMS CRAVE.

SPEED.

[ INAUDIBLE ]

Reporter: MID 4-4s WOULD

MAKE HIM THE FASTEST RUNNING

BACK IN LAST YEAR'S COMBINE TO

GO ALONG WITH THE STRONGEST

AND THE BEST JUMPING ABILITY.

WHAT'S AN NFL TEAM GOING TO

GET IF THEY BRING YOU ON?

THEY'RE GONNA GET A

WORKERS WHO.

THEY GONNA GET MARSHAWN LYNCH

AND AP TRANSFORMED.

[ LAUGHTER ]

NOTHING ABOUT ME WANTING TO

BE ON THE FIELD IN FRONT OF

THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF

FANS, JUST PLAYING MY HEART

OUT.

Reporter: SO NOW LET'S

WELCOME IN TERRON BECKHAM.

WELCOME TO THE STUDIOS.

THAT WAS -- IT WAS IMPRESSIVE

WATCHING YOU WORK OUT.

I TRIED TO IMPRESS PEOPLE.

YOU'RE TURNING HEADS.

AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A

CHANCE TO TURN SOME MORE

HEADS.

YOU WILL BE ATTENDING THE

NATIONAL SCOUTING COMBINE ON

FEBRUARY 25th THAT'S IN

INDIANAPOLIS.

THAT IS JUST BEFORE THE NFL

SCOUTING COMBINE.

THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN THE NFL

SCOUTING COMBINE.

SO NFL [ INDISCERNIBLE ]

INVITE 300, 350 PEOPLE USUALLY

FROM THE BIGGER SCHOOLS THE

MORE OF THE, THE, THE FIVE-

STAR OR WHATEVER --

Reporter: ALABAMAS DRAFT

ELIGIBLE --

RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT.

AND THE COMBINE I'M GOING TO

IT'S ANOTHER INVITE ONLY

COMBINE BUT IT'S KIND OF LIKE

FOR THOSE PLAYERS WHO DIDN'T

GET INVITED TO THAT ONE AND,

UM, BUT ARE STILL KIND OF LOOK

AND WORTHY OF MAKING IT TO THE

NEXT LEVEL WHETHER IT'S NFL,

CFL, AFL, EUROPEAN LEAGUE BUT

YOU STILL GET LOOKED AT

BASICALLY SO IT'S STILL A

OPPORTUNITY.

SO IN THE HISTORY OF THIS

SECONDARY NATIONAL SCOUTING

COMBINE THERE HAVE BEEN 120

PLAYERS WHO HAVE BEEN DRAFTED

OR PLAYING ON NFL TEAMS THAT

COMPETED IN THE COMBINE YOU'RE

GOING TO BE COMPETING IN.

LAST YEAR THERE WERE TWO GUYS

THAT WERE ACTUALLY DRAFTED.

THAT'S KIND OF ENCOURAGING.

IT'S VERY ENCOURAGING.

I LOOK TO BE, YOU KNOW, ONE

OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT GET OF

COURSE GET TO A TEAM.

YOU KNOW.

DRAFT DAY, YOU KNOW,

HOPEFULLY -- HOPEFULLY -- DO I

WANT TO GET DRAFTED?

YES!

I WANT TO GET DRAFTED.

BUT GETTING ON THE TEAM IS MY

MAIN PURPOSE RIGHT NOW AND

JUST TO SHOW WHAT I CAN DO FOR

THE TEAM.

I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE

WOULD THINK YOU WOULD HAVE

BEEN DRAFTED IF YOU HAD PLAYED

COLLEGE FOOTBALL.

SO LET'S KIND OF BREAK DOWN

THIS STORY AGAIN.

SO FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS,

YOU HAVE NOT BEEN PLAYING

FOOTBALL.

BUT IT WAS NOT NECESSARILY OF

ISSUES OF YOUR OWN.

YOU STARTED OFF WITH STEVENSON

UNIVERSITY.

YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD A FULL

RIDE SCHOLARSHIP THERE AND

SOMETHING WAS A LITTLE

CONFUSING AND ULTIMATELY YOU

SAT OUT THERE.

RIGHT.

I JUST SAY I THOUGHT IT WAS

GOING TO GET A FULL RIDE

SCHOLARSHIP.

HOW THEY TOOK CARE OF THE

FUNDS WAS BY LOANS.

AND WE DON'T LIKE LOANS.

[ LAUGHTER ]

SO --

THAT MEANS YOU HAVE TO PAY

THAT MONEY BACK.

LIKE I SAY I'M PAYING IT

NOW.

SO PAYING OFF THE LOANS NOW

AND, UM, I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH

MONEY EVEN WITH LOANS TO

CONTINUE WITH SCHOOL.

AT LEAST STAY IN THE DORMS.

BUT CLASSES YES.

SO I WAS JUST JUMPING FROM

DORM TO DORM JUST THAT WHOLE

SEMESTER TRYING TO FINISH

CLASS HAD TO GIVE UP FOOTBALL

JUST TO WORK.

IT WAS A TOUGH SEMESTER.

AND THEN YOU TRIED TO

TRANSFER TO A TEXAS SCHOOL BUT

THEY WOULDN'T TAKE YOU BECAUSE

-- STEVENSON WOULDN'T RELEASE

YOUR TRANSCRIPTS UNTIL YOU

SETTLED THE DEBT WITH THOSE

GUYS.

YEAH.

YEAH.

SO LIKE I SAID IT WAS JUST A

TOUGH --

ONE HURDLE AFTER ANOTHER.

STRAIGHT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL

IT WAS A TOUGH GIG GOING TO

COLLEGE.

FAST FORWARD TO NEW YORK TO

BECOME A FITNESS MODEL, UM,

HERE IN THE SAME CITY AS YOUR

COUSIN O'DELL.

MM-HM.

VERY FAMOUS COUSIN O'DELL.

YOU HAVE NOT REALLY STAYED IN

TOUCH WITH HIM BUT YOU SAID

THAT ALMOST KIND OF LIKE YOU

DIDN'T FEEL LIKE YOU WANTED TO

IMPOSE ON YOUR COUSIN.

YEAH.

I MEAN, LOOK, WE'RE BOTH

YOUNG.

WE'RE THE SAME AGE.

HE HE'S A STAR.

HE IS DOING HIS THING.

AND, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A LOT

TO TAKE IN AND, YOU KNOW, YOU

GOT ALREADY A LOT OF FAMILY

MEMBERS JUST THROWING

THEMSELVES AT YOU CONTACTING

YOU, YOU KNOW.

THERE'S NO NEED FOR ME IN THE

WAY OF ANYTHING, YOU KNOW,

LIKE WHEN THE TIME COMES THAT

WE'RE TOGETHER OR DOING

SOMETHING, THEN THAT TIME WILL

COME.

YOU KNOW, ME AND HIS FATHER

ARE VERY CLOSE.

WE TALK WEEKLY ABOUT WHAT'S

GOING ON AND STUFF.

BUT HE IS A YOUNG GUY, GONNA

DO HIS THING AND, YOU KNOW,

AS I SAID, WE'LL CONNECT.

IS THAT TIME COMING SOON

THOUGH?

I'M PRETTY SURE IT IS.

IT IS.

IT DEFINITELY IS COMING SOON.

HE IS TRAINING DOWN SOUTH

RIGHT NOW BUT I MEAN, DO YOU

SEE YOU GUYS TRAINING TOGETHER

OR MAYBE CONNECTING BEFORE THE

DRAFT OR BEFORE THE FOOTBALL

SEASON?

POSSIBLY.

WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT.

I'M TALKING TO HIS FATHER

ABOUT IT NOW TO SET SOMETHING

UP FOR US TO GET TOGETHER.

THAT WOULD BE GREAT FOR US AND

FOR THE WORLD.

IT WOULD BE AWESOME.

IT EAMES LIKE I GUESS IT'S IN

YOUR BLOOD, RIGHT?

THAT SUPERSTAR KIND OF ABILITY

IS REALLY IN YOUR BLOOD EVEN

THOUGH YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED FOR

THE PAST FIVE YEARS.

SCOUTS ARE GOING TO ASK WHY

YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED AND WHERE

YOUR COLLEGE FOOTBALL

EXPERIENCE IS LACKING.

HOW HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO

COMPENSATE FOR THAT?

UM, STAYING FOCUSED.

YOU KNOW, KEEP MY DISCIPLINED.

GROWING AS A MAN ON MY OWN AND

MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES AND

KEEPING MYSELF BUSY TRAINING

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN I BEEN
