## Resource

Caleb Downs, the Dallas Cowboys’ rookie safety, got a wild first-game lesson from Odell Beckham Jr.—his idol—when Odell tried to “smack” him during a play, leaving Downs stunned. The moment was even more surreal because Odell, who inspired Downs to wear jersey number 13, was the one trying to take him down. Downs is still processing the intensity and the loss, but he’s soaking it all in as he begins his NFL journey—with another showdown against Odell looming in Week 17.
