During his introductory press conference as a Raven on Thursday, OBJ talked about the knee injuries plaguing his career.

He missed the 2020 season due to a knee injury and had undergone an ACL replacement surgery.

Dr. Neal ElAttrache told him that he had no ACL despite having surgery done. Beckham revealed that he played the remainder of the season with no ACL.

The 30-year-old wideout had a good season with an ACL as he scored 305 yards for five touchdowns.

Odell Beckham Jr. also partied with Lamar Jackson in Miami after signing with the Ravens.

Odell Beckham Jr. will be a force to reckon with in 2023 if Lamar Jackson is the one throwing him the football.

The duo will be a nightmare for defenses if Jackson decided to play on the franchise tag.
