Michael Irvin Has Some Advice For Odell Beckham Jr.

by Staff Reporter

Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports

By not showing up to organized team activities with the New York Giants this week, Odell Beckham Jr. has caught the attention of the media, coaches, and even former players like Michael Irvin who offered some advice to the former LSU star. Per YardBaker.com:

quote:
“One thing I’d tell him is no matter how popular he gets away from the field, he has to make sure his teammates know there’s nothing more important than what goes on on the football field,” Irvin said. “Jimmy Johnson used to say if he have our focus on the right thing, winning, all of these other things shall be added. If we come in looking for money, fame or women, all of those things, then we’re scattered and we’ll never get to where we want to be.”

“He has to make sure everybody understands that the focus should be on winning, and all of those things come with winning,” Irvin added. “He understands that. He’s a smart kid.”

Beckham Jr. was also in the news earlier this week for signing the richest shoe deal in NFL history on Tuesday.

OBJ, is coming off that its all about him. This ain't boxing its a team sport. Heaven help his ego should his team win a playoff game.

He's sitting out bc he wants a new deal, according to reports. I think they said he's making like 1/10 of what the top receivers are getting paid and he's better than most of them. I understand he signed his rookie contract and he's still on that, but the Giants need to pay him. Regardless of how you feel about some of his actions, he's a damn good player and can be a game changer.

Shut up Ol Man. Mind yo Business he has done nothing up to this point(other than the gay) to show he isn't for team first.

Minus going out boating during the playoffs? OBJ is a primadonna

OBJ couldn't hold Irvin's jock, unfortunately.

Through his 1st 3 years Irvin had- 1445 yds, 12 TDs. Odell has- 4122 yds and 35 TDs in his first year. Translation- You don't know shite.

1st 3 years*

Let me know when he has three rings. And when Lebron has six for that matter.
