The cousin of Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is trying to convince some NFL team to give him a minicamp invitation.

Terron Beckham was a running back in high school but didn’t play in college, and he’s now an Instagram fitness model. On social media he posts impressive pictures and says he can vertical jump 45 inches and bench press 225 pounds 42 times, claims that should be taken with a grain of salt.

One NFL personnel executive told the New York Post that his team is interested enough to take a look, but it’s unlikely that it would go beyond taking a look.

An extreme long shot,” the executive said. “You look under every rock, though, so he’ll get a look.”

Terron Beckham probably won’t join his cousin in the NFL, but if he’s able to turn viral videos into a spot on a 90-man roster, he could join a fraternity that includes Trick Shot Quarterback Alex Tanney and Havard “Kickalicious” Rugland.
