It’s official: Odell Beckham Jr. is a Baltimore Raven. The free agent wide receiver agreed to terms on a one-year deal worth up to $18 million in incentives yesterday. After a long offseason, the WR finally found a home for himself in the purple tint of Baltimore City. And it seems like he’s already hitting it off with his new teammate, the one and only, Lamar Jackson

Jackson himself is the shining light for the entirety of Baltimore. The QB has been the face of the Ravens franchise for years on end and has been one of the best players in the league, while at it. But his falling out with the team over the last year has been well documented. With OBJ in the house, it seems like the tide is shifting once again.

Although both Lamar and Odell Beckham Jr. play very different positions, their career trajectory has some striking similarities. For one, they have each had their fair share of ups and downs in the NFL. Beckham has had some injury struggles in recent years, culminating in him tearing his ACL once again last season. As for Lamar, one of the major criticisms of the QB has been his inability to stay healthy for his team.

But looking beyond that, both superstars have been amongst the best at their position. But due to injury concerns and the lack of an adequate supporting cast, both faced failure early in their careers. The similarities are definitely going to be a common thread between the duo, as they hopefully unite with the Ravens.
