Follow Us
It wasn’t difficult for Odell Beckham Jr.to find a new home after his controversial release from Cleveland Browns. After finding his new place in Los Angeles Rams, he took almost no time to make his debut. It happened well before he could even know the squad inside out.
His debut came as a surprise after starting receiver Robert Woods was sidelined with a season-ending ACL injury ahead of Week 10. However, the Rams in their game against the San Francisco 49ers came out as a surprise after the Niners dominated over the Rams the whole time, making OBJ’s debut a mere flop.

He believes the three-time Pro Bowler is looking forward to a progressive season with the Rams. Since he is going to meet the Niners again later this season, he will have plenty of time to prove himself.
