Gardner and Beckham are obviously friendly, but the Defensive Rookie of the Year made it known what his intentions were.

"Being the #1 recruiter in America is stressful," he tweeted.

Beckham tried to sign with an NFL team last year, but several organizations wound up backing out when it became understood that he would not return from his torn ACL in time.

Beckham suffered the injury, his second torn ACL in less than 18 months, with the Los Angeles Rams during their Super Bowl LVI victory.

In eight regular-season games with LA, Beckham caught 27 passes — five of them touchdowns — for 305 yards. But he turned it up in the playoffs. In his first three playoff games, he totaled 19 receptions for 236 yards (113 of them in the NFC championship) and two touchdowns. He also caught the first touchdown of that Super Bowl.
