Odell Beckham, Jarvis Landry broke a Jugs machine at LSU by overusing it

The Miami Dolphins and New York Giants will square off on Monday night, pitting two of the game's top young receivers against each other. Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry will take the field -- though on opposite sides -- for the first time as pros after spending three years together at LSU. Similarities are evident between the two promising wideouts, and it's not much of a surprise to see.

While at LSU, Landry and Beckham worked extremely hard on their craft, specifically with catching the ball. Clearly, it's worked wonders for them as they're two of the most reliable pass catchers in the league. One reason why their hands are so great? They would overuse the Jugs machine until it broke ... literally.

Here's what LSU receivers coach Adam Henry told Ebenezer Samuel of the New York Daily News:

Henry says "confident hands" are what make Landry and Beckham so great, and they built that confidence by utilizing the Jugs machine in college. Of course, that's not the only way they improved their game, but it certainly helped them along the way. It probably helped them make incredible one-handed catches too, but that's not something Henry wanted them to get used to doing.

"You're like, 'Two hands! Two hands!'" Henry said. "It's hard because it's the natural reaction as a coach."

Eventually, Henry gave up on trying to get them to use two hands, given their ability to make one-handed grabs with ease.

They've clearly taken what they learned and worked on at LSU to the NFL, and used it to become two outstanding receivers. They'll put their talents on display in primetime on Monday night, and probably try to one-up each other in the process.
