Odell Beckham Jr. will play in Super Bowl 56. After years of tough times in New York only getting as far as the wild card round, followed by two and a half poor seasons in Cleveland, the superstar receiver has found his way to the pinnacle of the sport.
In November of 2021, Beckham was granted his release from the Browns after having a lot of discontent with the organization and particularly, quarterback Baker Mayfield. Soon after the release he signed with the Los Angeles Rams and joined their all-in to win now program.
Since signing, Beckham has had 8 games in the regular season where he caught 27 passes for 305 yards and 5 touchdowns. While that isn’t very substantial, his performances in the playoffs, particularly in the NFC championship game where he had 9 receptions for 113 yards, have been instrumental in bringing the Rams to the Super Bowl.
With the Super Bowl appearance locked in, Odell Beckham Jr. had a surprise for an LA-based youth football program founded by the Los Angeles Police Department.
