Odell Beckham Jr. has not rubbed any New York Giants players the wrong way by skipping voluntary OTA practices, at least according to franchise legend Justin Tuck.

On Tuesday, one of the greatest defensive ends and leaders in Giants history defended Beckham and also made it clear that his absence has no negative impact on the locker room based on the players he has talked with.

“As long as Odell is doing what he needs to do to prepare himself for the upcoming season — and I am still very in-tune with what goes on in Giants headquarters — and it seems to me the players are totally fine with it,” Tuck said, via MSG. “They know he’s out there working and they know he has his own personal trainer.

“Would you like to see him there? Sure. You would definitely to see him there, but it’s not a case where he’s slacking, arguing over a contract or anything like that. . . He’s such a big-time player he’s getting more [publicity] than anything else.”

Tuck also commented on how what Beckham's doing during OTAs is not uncommon at all. In fact, Tuck saw it happen with many players throughout his career. The difference? Those players didn't share his name. Beckham is a national and local sports icon and that's exactly why Tuck presumes this story has been blown out of proportion.

In addition to Beckham, several key names around the NFL have skipped OTA practices. Eric Decker, the New York Jets' No. 1 wide receiver, was absent at the Jets' OTA practice Monday. Aaron Donald, arguably the best defensive tackle in the NFL, has not shown up to Rams OTA practice yet. Beckham is not alone.

Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon has also skipped OTA practices thus far, but there has not been the same kind of backlash from the fans or media attached to his decision.

Just like Tuck said, Beckham's teammates are fine with his decision because they know he is training hard elsewhere. Last week, videos surfaced of Beckham training with Hall of Fame wide receiver Cris Carter. In addition to training with Carter, Beckham has worked tirelessly with his personal trainer out in California, as made clear by some of the videos posted by his trainer.

Let's sum this up in four simple words -- Beckham will be fine. Remember, we're talking about a player who has shattered several NFL records in his first three seasons in the league.
