Ben McAdoo on Odell Beckham playing defense: ‘Never say never’
The New York Giants are dealing with an injury crisis at safety, and coach Ben McAdoo might have to get creative to address the situation.
He even refused to rule out using Odell Beckham Jr. in a defensive role.
“Never say never,” McAdoo said of using Beckham defensively, via Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News.
Beckham was coy when asked if he practiced the position.
Odell Beckham Jr. says he did not play safety today in practice. "Not that I remember," he said.

Would the Giants really risk Beckham with the added possibility of injury? After all, they already had one silly scare recently. Still, it’s a fun possibility, and he might actually have the physicality to do that.
