WATCH: Lil’Jordan Humphrey hauls in a touchdown for the Patriots

Lil’Jordan Humphrey is finding his groove with his new team. 

New England Patriots wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey is finding his groove with his new team.

Humphrey was one of the best players on the field in the Patriots’ preseason opener against the New York Giants on Thursday.

He snagged six passes for 62 yards and a touchdown to give the Pats a late fourth-quarter lead. A great showing for Humphrey, who is looking to secure a spot on the New England roster.

Fellow former Longhorn wide receiver Collin Johnson also stood out in the game. Johnson finished with seven catches for 82 yards as the Giants took down the Patriots 23-21 on a last-second field goal.

Humphrey and Johnson were a dynamic duo for the Longhorns in 2018. The two combined for over 2,000 yards and 18 touchdowns helping lead Texas to its best season since 2010.

NFL Network gives update on Odell Beckham’s status

NFL Network provides an update on Odell Beckham’s free agency

As the NFL season grows closer, former LSU wideout [autotag]Odell Beckham Jr[/autotag] is still without a home.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network recently had an update on Beckham’s status.

Rapoport pointed out how Beckham is still recovering from an ACL and could be exercising patience. Beckham might not be able to play early in the year anyway, so why not take more time to recover?

It doesn’t seem like Beckham is signing anytime soon. This would give Beckham a chance to join a contender down the stretch in good health.

The Rams have maintained interest, but there hasn’t been much smoke around other teams.

Teams like the Cowboys, Titans, or Colts could use his services. All three of those teams expect to contend but need some more depth at wide receiver.

In 14 games last year, Beckham caught 44 passes for 537 yards. He really shined in the postseason, where he had 288 yards and a couple of touchdowns.

That included a 113-yard performance in the NFC Championship game. In the Super Bowl, he put the Rams up 7-0 with a first-quarter touchdown.

In his eight NFL seasons, Beckham has eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark on five occasions and that total could be even higher if it weren’t for injuries.

Beckham is just 29 and could be an important part of an offense this year.
