ODELL BECKHAM JR. JOINS "TEAM JAYRO" TO FIGHT CANCER

BY MATT COHEN


Before the Giants report to the Quest Diagnostics Training Center on Thursday for the start of training camp, Odell Beckham Jr. had one more stop to make.

The Giants wide receiver took a trip to Texas on Friday to visit Jayro Ponce, a 9-year-old boy battling a rare form of cancer. Jayro has been diagnosed with a malignant rhabdoid tumor and is receiving treatment at the Ronald McDonald House in Amarillo, Texas. Big Blue's star wide receiver is Jayro's favorite player.
