Browns believe Beckham-Landry duo can be 'pretty special'

Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry dominated college football together at LSU, and the Cleveland Browns believe the duo is primed for a big 2019 in the pros.

"It could be pretty special, but again, we've got a long way to go," wide receivers coach Adam Henry told reporters, according to Browns staff writer Nick Shook. "It's something that you look forward to and potentially on paper, it's something that's good. But just getting the rapport, the me-to-you, things of that nature. We've got a quarterback that can throw it with great leadership, and with Freddie's mind and play-calling we'll be in a good situation."

Beckham, who was acquired in a blockbuster trade with the New York Giants in March, has participated in one of nine voluntary practices since the beginning of organized team activities, which wrap up Friday. Head coach Freddie Kitchens asserted on Thursday that Beckham missed "a lot" by sitting out.

Landry, meanwhile, sat out OTAs with a minor injury and will also skip next week's mandatory minicamp, so Browns fans may have to wait a while before seeing the two take the field together.

The wideouts played three seasons together at LSU and each tallied 1,000-yard-plus receiving campaigns before going pro. Henry served as their positions coach from 2012-2013.

"It's a great thing," Henry said, according to NFL.com's Grant Gordon. "Just sitting in the meetings and they were kinda shaking their heads saying, 'Wow, this is different.' Being in the meeting room with them at LSU was a good thing and to be here, it's kinda surreal."
