After he tore his ACL during Super Bowl LVI, wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was widely expected to sign with an NFL team late last season once he had recovered.
There were plenty of rumors that he would join a championship contender, but he instead sat out the entire campaign.
But according to Tom Pelissero, Beckham will hold a workout for teams on Friday in order to attempt to show that he still has plenty of offer.

Especially if we are going with a rookie QB, and you could stack the skill positions. #raiders.

Beckham was once known for his world-class speed, a talent that allowed him to record over 1,000 receiving yards in five of his first six seasons.
But the ACL tear he suffered in the Super Bowl was his second such injury in just over a calendar year, and naturally, some are wondering if he will still have a respectable amount of speed, lateral movement, and athleticism left.
If he does, he could give some team a lift and help it get to the next level, even if he won’t be a main offensive option anymore.
