It’s crazy how football in the National Football League works out for some players. Take Odell Beckham Jr and his start to the 2021–2022 was a crazy one. He blew out his knee last season and was coming back from that injury for the Cleveland Browns. Many people thought he would be an important part of the Browns run to the playoffs.
It didn’t happen as it seems Odell and Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield could never get on the right page. I do not know who’s fault it was, but in reality it was a horrible marriage on the football field. Even Odell’s dad chimed in with video evidence and shortly Odell was out of Cleveland faster then anyone could have imagine.
Odell was a popular player in the Cleveland locker room and once he was gone the Browns went downhill fast. We do not know how much his departure impacted the Browns, and probably never will know.
The Browns cut Odell and he got signed by the Los Angeles Rams which many people thought could be a mistake. Odell went there and became a model citizen and did what was asked of him. He wasn’t the guy with the most catches, but he carved out his niche in the offense. Like Odell or hate him the one thing you can say about him is when he is on the field he can play football. In the NFC Championship he amassed over 100 yards passing to help lead the Rams in the Super Bowl. If anyone thought Odell Beckham was a cancer to a team look no further to the Los Angeles Rams as proof he just wants to win.
