First of all let me apologize for my absence from the blogsphere since the end of the Olympic games. Nothing personal, just got caught up in life. LOL!
At any rate, he’s provided us with some of the greatest highlights in his short time in the NFL. Fabulous 1-handed catches, a consistent threat that other teams have to scheme and plan for, and amassing over 1,000 yards receiving in his first 2 seasons in the league. So what’s wrong with Odell Beckham, Jr.? Ever since his “out of body experience” in his match up against the Carolina Panthers and cornerback Josh Norman last season, this guy has seemed to spiral out of control. All of the extracurricular activities with Norman last year earned him a 1 game suspension, and also earned him the label of being a dirty player.
His talent is unquestionable, but what about his attitude? Wide receivers have long been viewed as divas, but this guy appears to have put the “D” in diva. And a lot of his NFL peers are not taking too kindly to it. In Monday night’s game against Minnesota, OBJ seemed to get into it with Vikings’ CB Xavier Rhodes. Again Beckham drew a personal foul penalty for extra curricular activities, and was visibly upset.
And now it’s come out that he’s no longer having fun playing the game, and many feel as though he may be ready to quit. Seems to me as though he’s having another diva moment. I was always of the mind set that when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Just because you’ve had a few rough outings is no reason to want to call it quits.
My advice to Odell is to play the game like you know how to play it. All this extra stuff is not needed. Line up, run your route, and catch the damn ball! That’s the best way to get back at these DBs who have now found a way to get under your skin. Ask guys like Jerry Rice, Tim Brown, and Randy Moss. The best revenge is success. And stop bringing the extra attention upon yourself. All the dancing videos and Instagram posts are what’s really making your life a living hell. You’ve put a target on your back by simply being “out there”. Concentrate on your craft and play ball! Leave the extra alone.
