“I don’t even want to go there, Odell over Tom Brady. That’s a duh to me. Yes, he is far more interesting on social media than Tom Brady could ever dream about being.
“In fact, I’m surprised Tom Brady has even that big a following. But Odell Beckham Jr. is the most amazing phenomenon I have ever witnessed in all my years covering any sport, especially the NFL.”

Bayless further added that Odell is more renowned for his activities off the court than he is on the court. Bayless, while being slightly critical of Beckham Jr., noted that his work away from the football field was far more noteworthy than his play on it.
He even took a dig at Odell’s poor post-season record, noting that he earns more money off of his social media platforms than during the Playoffs.
