NFL: Preseason-Philadelphia Eagles at Baltimore Ravens
(New York, NY) – It’s never too difficult to tell when Odell Beckham Jr. is unhappy.
The outspoken wide receiver tends to wear his emotions on his sleeve, and as the current NFL season continues, OBJ is speaking out on his tenure in Baltimore.
Suffice it to say that he’s not pleased with his role in the Ravens offensive game plan.
The 30-year-old receiver admitted it’s all about “trying to win a Super Bowl, so it is what it is, at this point.” But admits, “I didn’t come here with the expectation that I’d be going for 2,000 yards. [I’m] just walking the fine line of being grateful for being back on the field but definitely not being content with how I am in terms of what’s going on.”
Health has been a factor in terms of limiting Beckham Jr.’s time on the field – going all the way to his breakout with the New York Giants. This season he’s dealt with ankle as well as shoulder injuries. He’s averaging just 27 receiving yards per game.
It remains to be seen if the Baltimore coaching staff will look to get him more involved this weekend against the Seattle Seahawks – following OBJ’s comments.
