Terron Beckham became famous for being the really jacked cousin of New York Jets wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. He made headlines last year for trying to make it to the NFL. Terron is the in the news again after attending a WWE tryout in Orlando, Florida late last week.
According to the official website of the WWE, Terron was among the participants of the latest WWE tryouts held at the Performance Center. The tryout was a three-day camp that also included Isaiah Stanback, Lei'D Tapa, Lance Anoa'i, Eduard Soghomonyan, Katya Kavaleva, Spencer Charette and Lindsay Duncan.
Stanback is a Super Bowl champion tight end for the New York Giants while Tapa is the niece of former WWE superstar The Barbarian. Lance is a member of the Anoa'i wrestling family as he is the son of Samu and the grandson of Afa of the Wild Samoans.
Soghomonyan is a heavyweight Greco-Roman wrestler of Armenian descent who represented Brazil in the 2016 Rio Olympics. Kavaleva is a 6-foot-5 Belarusian kickboxer while Charette is a 410-pound independent wrestler.
Finally, Duncan is more known in the independent circuit as Nicole Matthews, who wrestled for Elite Canadian Championship Wrestling and SHIMMER Women Athletes. There was a total of 42 athletes in the recent WWE tryout.
According to Bleacher Report, the WWE has not offered Terron a contract just yet. However, there is a big chance that Vince McMahon loves his physique and his association with one of the biggest stars in the NFL does not hurt his chances.
Terron took part in a combine with the Beyond Sports Network to showcase his skills to NFL teams. He generated a lot of buzz but no NFL team signed him to a contract. However, he had a very impressive combine having a 44-inch vertical leap and 11-foot broad jump.
OBJ's cousin also ran a 4.47-second 40-yard dash, a 6.89 three-cone drill and 4.28 short shuttle. He told CBS Sports in an interview after the combine last year that he knows he has a lot to learn before he gets into the NFL. It should be noted that Terron stopped playing football in high school.
"I understand I have a big learning curve, for not playing college football. I have a lot to catch up and learn and do," Terron said.
