For his next feat, Odell Beckham Jr.’s cousin will try to break into the NFL without ever having played college football.
Terron Beckham already is an Instagram sensation, regularly posting video of his freakishly chiseled physique doing seemingly impossible things like bench-pressing 225 pounds 42 times or recording a 45-inch vertical jump.
But as eye-popping as all that is, Beckham faces a steep uphill climb in his bid to join his more famous Giants’ pass-catching relative in the NFL.
The next step in that bid will come Feb. 25 in Indianapolis, where Beckham will participate in a “shadow combine” for draft hopefuls not invited to next week’s national scouting combine or any of the NFL’s regional combines.
Beckham also will take part in a pro day next month organized by the TEST Football Academy in Martinsville, N.J., that academy co-owner Kevin Dunn claims it has drawn interest from a handful of NFL scouts.
Beckham, a running back in high school vying to play the same position in the pros, has to take the long road to his NFL dream because he said he moved around as a teenager and didn’t play college football because of family pressure and financial issues.
Beckham, 23, who has spent the past three years as a trainer and fitness model based out of Queens, said NFL teams will like what they see if they give him the chance to prove he can play and isn’t just a workout wonder.
“They’re going to get a workhorse,” Beckham told WCBS-TV last week. “Marshawn Lynch and [Adrian Peterson] transformed into one person.”
An NFL personnel executive told The Post teams are aware of Beckham — in large part because of his cousin — but highly skeptical because of his lack of a college career.
“An extreme long shot,” the executive said. “You look under every rock, though, so he’ll get a look.”
Beckham will get a look, the executive added, because some of his accomplishments in the weight room sound like science fiction. For instance, the NFL combine record by a running back for bench pressing 225 pounds is 32 repetitions — 10 fewer than Beckham’s personal best.
Beckham isn’t doing teams or himself any favors in the scouting department, however.
According to the league office, neither Beckham — a 5-foot-11, 230-pound running back who last played in high school — nor his agent has called the NFL to determine if he is even eligible for the upcoming draft.
Beckham is five years out of high school, and an NFL spokesman said Friday it’s more likely his classification would be as a street free agent that can be signed at any time.
“Scouts are going to be blown away if they give this kid a chance,” Dunn said this week. “Some of the things he does with his training make you ask, ‘What planet is he from?’ ’’
