Odell Beckham Jr. Accepting Probability Of Reduced Role
Odell Beckham Jr. appears to be accepting of the reality that he won\'t be as featured in the Cleveland Browns\' offense as he expected.
Last season, Beckham had 1,035 yards but just four touchdowns.
“For me, one of my biggest growths has come in acceptance in a sense and for me knowing it’s probably not going to be that kind of season [with huge numbers],” Beckham said on a video call Thursday, via Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com. “Like I always say, my goal is always going to be my goal, and I don’t feel like I’m ever going to fall short of it. Like I said, learning and acceptance, so you set new goals.”
Beckham said the Michael Jordan documentary he watched during quarantine helped him develop a new mindset.
“Having a game within a game, working on a release during a run game or working something else, a new goal — aside from winning always,” Beckham said. “Nick Chubb needs to be the No. 1 rusher in the league or Kareem, too. You have two legitimate No. 1 backs in the backfield, and our team is very, very, very good at running the football, so you have to play to your strengths. Then I think you learn where you fit in and where you’re able to make your plays and how you can help the team.”
