Odell Beckham Jr received a recruiting pitch from Von Miller - backed by Josh Allen - after the Buffalo Bills thrashed his former team, the Los Angeles Rams, to start the NFL season.
Beckham Jr remains a free agent having suffered a torn ACL in the Rams’ Super Bowl win but has been linked with a move to join the Bills. He fuelled speculation by tweeting his praise of the Bills whilst watching their impressive Thursday night win, which strengthened their claims as favourites this campaign.
Beckham has been actively recruited by pass rusher Miller, who himself made the move from the Rams to the Bills this off-season and enjoyed a superb start with his new team in week one. After the blowout win, Miller sent a message to Beckham about joining him.

"I mean he said whoever won this game, that's where he was gonna go," Miller said. "There's truth behind every joke. We just gotta see.
“He was a huge part of our success last year (in Los Angeles). Whenever he gets healthy, I'm sure there's a lot of teams that will be wanting him.
"I mean, we get gotta wait and see. I think we did everything we could possibly do to get him. We have to wait 'til he gets healthy. We got a great squad over here. I think Josh (Allen) would like another weapon. That's just another guy that we can get the ball to.
"Right now, we got a great group of guys. We got a great team. We just gotta keep going. Whenever he gets happy, we'll see what happens.”
Those moments were put to quarterback Josh Allen, who shone in the season-opener, and he responded with a wry smile: "GM Von,” in a far more subtle suggestion he could be on board.
Meanwhile, Allen hailed Miller and his teammates for their part in the 31-10 win in LA. Speaking on NBC, after the game, he said: “First off, that first half, being careless with the football a little bit, putting our defense in bad situations but they gave us a chance.
“Going in with three turnovers at halftime and it being even, that was a huge boost for us. We knew if we came out and tried to execute the way we know we can execute, we were going to move the ball the ball and score. Our defense played a hell of a game.
“Defense's job is to get the ball back, but the offense can help and let them go and pin their ears back by getting up and putting them in legit passing situations and letting them go.
“We got a bunch of dawgs up front. He [Miller] is the leader of that D-line and they played outstanding tonight.”
