NFLers enjoy final days before training camp
It's the final weekend before all NFL players are due at training camp, and the athletes celebrated their final moments of freedom in different ways.
New York Giants star Odell Beckham Jr. joined NBA champ Draymond Green, former NFL receiver Victor Cruz, and others at a celebrity soccer game in West Hollywood.
Pittsburgh Steelers receiver and new Madden cover star Antonio Brown spent some quality time with family in an infinity pool.
New Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins took a laid-back approach, kicking back with some light reading by the fire.

His teammate Calais Campbell had a different spin on a youth camp, as he hosted a Microsoft coding class.
Great event today! Learned a lot. Danced a little. But most of all I had myself a good time! #BoysAndGirlsClub #MircosoftCodingClass #Duval #DoubtMeAndBeWrong pic.twitter.com/QBTXK0bW9z
