It's Time for Odell Beckham Jr. to Prove it on the Field for Browns Instead of Talking About it
For the first time in what feels like months, Cleveland Browns superstar Odell Beckham Jr. has come out and provided an update on his health that is sure to fire up fans.
The standout wideout is done making excuses about said health, and has said he'll be ready to ball out for the team. But haven't we heard this before from No. 13?
#Browns WR Odell Beckham Jr. said he spent most of last season dealing with injuries (groin, hernia, abs, etc.) and he’s now putting it all back together: “I would honestly say this is probably going to be one of my best seasons. Bigger, stronger, faster -- this is my time."

While these words are encouraging from the 5-11, 200-pounder, it does feel like a little bit more of lip service. Yes, OBJ was hampered by injuries last season. However, those injuries had nothing to do with him being seen telling teams to "come get me" in an offseason trade. In order for Beckham to get back in fans' good graces, he just needs to stop talking and let his play on the field do it for him.
Last season in Cleveland, his first with the organization, OBJ was limited to 74 receptions and four touchdowns. Both were career lows for him, excluding the 2017 campaign when he appeared in only four games.

The entire city of Cleveland would love it if this indeed turned out to be one of his best seasons. OBJ will have plenty of haters doubting him once again come September. Let's see if he'll be able to prove them wrong.
