As the offseason has officially started, the teams are filling up their vacant coach positions so that they can move on to draft and free agency. Recently, the Buffalo Bills; wide receiver coach Chad Hall moved on to Jacksonville Jaguars. Hence, in order to replace him, the Bills and the General Manager of the team, Brandon Beane, went along with an unusual choice. The new wide receivers coach has a surprising connection to the former Super Bowl-winning wide receiver, Odell Beckham Jr.

This is not the first time that a connection between the Bills and Beckham has come up. Previously, the GM of the team expressed his interest in signing the three-time Pro Bowl selection. Even though Beane was not against the idea of bringing the WR to the team, he said that he was satisfied with the players he had on the roster.

Does Henry’s arrival mean that Odell Beckham Jr. will also follow?

Before signing with the Bills, Henry was Indianapolis’ co-offensive coordinator and wide receiver coach. He also worked as a wide receiver coach for teams like the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, and Cleveland Browns. While OBJ was with the Browns and the Giants, they worked together there. Additionally, he was also Beckham’s passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach at LSU for a few seasons.

Beckham tore his ACL in the Super Bowl LVI. Because of that, he could not sign with any team. But the Buffalo Bills had always been the team that had shown immense interest in the WR. Apart from them, he talked with teams like the Chiefs, the Baltimore Ravens, the Cowboys, the Giants, etc. However, the meetings led nowhere.
