08:13 AM ET 08.07 | Dorial Green-Beckham, perhaps in anticipation of his future, shortened his autograph to the acronym that has preceded him at Missouri. "Everyone has this misconceived notion of 'DGB,'" offensive coordinator David Yost said. "That's a big thing to walk in with. Our guys look at him as humble, and really to them. he's Dorial. He went from being DGB to Dorial real quick." ... Green-Beckham is different from most any recruit. At 6 feet 6, 220 pounds, he's big, strong and fast and could have gone to any college he wanted. The attention isn't about to slow. Green-Beckham said he was somewhat unnerved by cameras as he emerged from the football complex for the first day of practice. "I hadn't even made it to the field yet," he said.

The QB at Missouri will determine if Beckam meets any expectations. Great players need a great supporting cast and receivers especially.

Ya gotta be kiddin'. I'll be damn. I never knew you had to have someone to throw it and another to catch it. I always thought these athletes were so great they could throw it, run down field and catch it all by themselves. Man, FN is a real educational site.

DUde, it doesnt matter what QB they have. He is just like Calvin and Randy Moss in his prime. "Hey Dorial.... GO DEEP AND JUMP SON!"
