Odell Beckham wants to speed train with Usain Bolt
New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. wants to train and work on his speed with world record holder Usain Bolt in the off-season.
Beckham fired off a tweet with a video of his 61-yard touchdown against the Cowboys on Sunday night. In the video, Beckham's top speed heading into the end zone was reportedly recorded at 21.85 miles per hour.
Bolt has been clocked at 27.8 miles per hour at his top speed.
South Africa's Wayde Van Niekerk trained with Bolt last summer and went on to break the world record in the 400 meters in the Olympic final.

Beckham has close ties with Olympian Lolo Jones from his days at LSU. So if working out with Bolt doesn't happen, he has other fast friends.
