I met OBJ at a camp he did in Baltimore. I had my two nephews, one of which has special needs. This man really played with EVERY CHILD at the camp and not just for the cameras. He was kind to us adults and wasn’t fake. This man is genuinely a good person. Changed my whole understanding of him. I wish him well.
Love yall Guysss!!!
ODELL BECKHAM JR is the reason I play and fell in love with wide receiver!!!
“Nobody’s gonna change until the pain gets great enough” I got the chills when I heard that
The fact he said the phone still rings gives me hope for a comeback
The media hated Odell but the fans, we have always loved him. Somethings are bigger and deeper than the game and he’s a perfect example of that.
Obj is the reason I started watching football. No matter what happens, he’s still that dude for me.
Obj, even with no ACL balled tf out with the rams. That playoff run and SB performance showed me how much talent this dude has.
Hearing that 60 mill after tax ain’t enough is crazy. Sayin 8 mil a year isn’t a lot of money is crazy. You don’t gotta live a flashy lifestyle. No one forcing you to spend ALL that every year. Plenty players who don’t make near that much ain’t tricking they shi off like most these chuckleheads
Hate when people say we weren’t taught about money management in school💯😂
