Odell also robbed at Bowl

-

TOM Brady wasn’t the only NFL star to get hit by thieves over Super Bowl weekend in Houston. Sources exclusivel­y tell Page Six that Giants star

Odell Beckham Jr.’ s gear was also taken. Brady’s game-winning jersey, which was swiped from the Patriots’ locker room at NRG Stadium, is still in the wind. But a source told us that Beckham — in town for the big game as an ESPN pregame commentato­r — was robbed of “jewelry and cash.” Rumors even swirled that he was mugged. “It was basically catching him outside at the right time,” said a source of the alleged heist.

A source close to the Giants confirmed that the star wide receiver was indeed robbed, but he said it was not a mugging at all and nothing “pricey” was taken. The team source explained that Beckham was staying at a hotel in Houston, but that he also left a bag of his belongings at a friend’s house. (As one does?)

“He just had some stuff there,” the source said. “Shoes and that sort of thing. It wasn’t anything expensive — just some of his belongings.” The source said that the home was broken into and that Beckham’s stuff was gone.

In 2014, Beckham revealed that he owns more than 100 pairs of sneakers, including a $5,000 pair of Nike Air Yeezy 2 “Red Octobers.” He’s also known for customizin­g his cleats.

Local police told us they had no reports filed by Beckham, who frequently posts off-the-field pics of himself on Instagram wearing gold chains and bracelets.

In November, he lost a $25,000 diamond pinky ring, which flew off while he was dancing at a strip club.

Either way, his stolen stuff didn’t amount to the $500,000 that Brady’s missing jersey is reportedly worth. Houston police have been investigat­ing that incident, although reports on Thursday said Brady’s coveted No. 12 jersey may actually just be somewhere on a “team equipment truck” that’s headed back to Boston. It was not searched before it drove off.

A rep for the Giants did not comment.
