Odell Beckham Jr. has pretty much silenced all his haters.

When OBJ was traded from the Giants to the Browns, things went wrong almost from the jump. He struggled with his health, his stats plummeted, it was clear he couldn’t play with Baker Mayfield and lots of people wanted to point fingers.

When the Browns decided to cut him loose, the narrative was that the Browns were coming out ahead and OBJ was far out of his prime.

While Odell might not be the player he was at his peak, he reinvigorated his career by joining the Rams and dominating on his way to a Super Bowl.

He has six touchdowns since joining the Rams, and his ability to help Cooper Kupp get open is a huge reason why the Rams are playing against the Bengals for the Lombardi Trophy.

Again, when the Browns cut him loose, the narrative was OBJ was the problem. In reality, it looks like Cleveland was the problem.

It’s crazy that four months ago, people were talking like OBJ’s career was over. They were talking like he was a garbage player.

Well, it’s now the end of January and the Rams are 60 minutes of good football away from winning the Super Bowl. It sure is funny how life works out sometimes!

February 13 is going to be an epic night and I can wait to see what OBJ, Matthew Stafford and company do.
