 It's always nice when you can have several different titles and accolades on your resume. And it's no different for Odell Beckham, Jr. He's a former first round pick. He broke numerous receiving records in his first couple of years. He is once the highest paid receiver in the league, a Super Bowl champion, a pro bowler, all pro, all that good stuff. But who knew that recruiter would be on his list of accolades as well. Yesterday, we all heard the press conference that featured one John Harbaugh, Justin Matibike, and Raven's new receiver, Odell Beckham, Jr. This would be the second time that we heard from Odell Beckham, Jr. in a presser. And he had his recruiting head on. He really did. Because Jocena Anderson, who she has been covering Odell Beckham, Jr. throughout his entire career, and she had just been on it. She was there at the castle yesterday. And the very last question that was asked, it was actually not supposed to even be the last question. They were like, oh, one more. And somebody asked a different question and then Jocena went after them. So this was like a bonus question, but I appreciate it because they saved the best for last. She asked him, have you had any exchanges or suggestions with the Andre Hopkins? And as far as meaning like, oh, have you told them what team he should go to and any suggestions that he could go to anything like that? And Odell Beckham, Jr. said, we were both in Arizona and we were joking way before the draft even happened about possibly both going here to the Baltimore Ravens. And obviously, if he's talking about way before the draft, that's when the Andre Hopkins was still in Arizona Cardinal. So he was not a free agent back then. So that is significant. Anyway, he continued and said, I don't know what happens from here. That's not really my call. I'm not the coach or GM. I do know that he was craving to be able to play football again since he had a shorter season last year. I think he can steal ball from what I've seen when we were working out. So Odell Beckham, Jr. with that, that slick recruitment pitch. And let me tell you why it's slick because this is not the first time that Odell Beckham, Jr. has said those words as a receiver for the Baltimore Ravens. Because if I take you back now, I know the situations are completely different. I get that. But if I take you back about what a month and change ago, when Odell Beckham, Jr. first time with the Baltimore Ravens, he had his first press conference and they kept asking him questions about Lamar, Lamar, Lamar. What's up with Lamar? What's going to happen with Lamar? Do you think Lamar is going to be here? And he said, I want Lamar to be here. I hope it works out with the contract and everything, but I'm not a GM. I'm not a coach. That's up for them to decide. That's not my job. Pretty much the same exact thing that he said about the Andre Hopkins. So it seemed like, Odell, like, hey, Ravens, if you want to make the move, go ahead and make the move, baby. And he threw in there. Oh, yeah, yeah, he can still ball out. He been craving to play football. And man, like again, the Andre Hopkins on his list that he said, anybody else on the list that the Andre Hopkins said Ravens, they meet the criteria for everything that he was looking for. So we'll see exactly what happens. But I appreciated that from one Odell Beckham, Jr. Now, just getting into the rest of the presser from Odell, he was just very happy to be back. And he said it from the jump, he's just happy to be back in the building. He said he was coming in with the mindset that we're all professionals. And he just wanted to get back to having fun. Now, somebody asked about development chemistry. Can you develop some kind of chemistry this week? And Odell said chemistry will develop over time. And he said he'll be down in South Florida working with Lamar. Let's see. Anyway, he said they talked about it all off season. Now, as far as the certain amount of work that he plans on doing this week, he didn't really have a certain number of certain things he wanted to accomplish anything like that. And he continued to stress that they have the whole off season before the season starts. So season ain't starting tomorrow. So season ain't starting next month. So he ain't starting for the next two months. Like after this mini camp, that's it. They got a long break all the way up until training camp. So yeah, today and tomorrow. That's it. But anyway, until training camp, that is. They were, he was asked about what percent he's at health wise. And he said he doesn't actually give a number to what percent he's feeling. He just said it feels good to be able to get out of bed and not feel any pain. And he said if he had to take all running, then he could take off running. I was like that. That is the blackest thing that you could probably say. But I appreciated it though, man. But with O'Dell, he kept and he reiterated it several times because he got asked by a couple different people about like where he was at health wise and what not what percent you was at. And he just said that he said that feels like a setup question. Like if you put if he were to put a number on it, he just felt like it's a setup question. So he just stayed away from that. Even when you've seen the Anderson acts too. I know him and Josephine Anderson, they super cool. But he even stayed away from it when she acts too. So I was like, oh, yeah, he really ain't trying to answer that question. He was asked about what his familiarity with the offense is. And he said it's been a while, but it's all the same. Football is all the same. It's just different verbiage in different places. He said he's definitely fast. He said he don't know who's faster between him and Lamar. All right, now O'Dell. Okay, man. Nobody that one, man. I think I know. But hey, who we'll see. He said it was a tough road having to have surgery. And then his son was born three to four days later after the surgery. So that's tough, man. So you can't even really move that much. You can't and I mean, when your kids are baby, they can't move that much either. They just always in your arms or in the crib or in the bass net or whatever. But that's that's tough, man. You can't even really walk around with your kid like that because you got to take care of your leg. So that must have been real tough. He said what happened at the Super Bowl sucked. He said he was super locked in. He said his family had said they never seen him locked in like that before. And he talked about how he just knew he was going to be the best player on that field that day. He was. And he said that he hopes to get another opportunity to be in a Super Bowl this year, but this time to finish it. And yeah, we hope for the same thing for you, O'Dell. He said Lamar was the reason that he signed here. And he said that he's been watching Lamar since Louisville. And he said Lamar has that it to him, that it factor. And that's special. That's real special. I mean, we all know Lamar got that, but just confirmation from O'Dell. That's nice. He was told that Lamar said he'll be throwing more than running ever, than ever before. And he was asked as Lamar, where Lamar is a pastor, what impressed you about him? And O'Dell said, he just played his quarterback. He's been playing it his whole life. And he said, I'll take 10 passes over 10 runs all the time. And he said, I'm all for it. But at the same time, he said, it's definitely about winning game. So whatever it takes. So that's a very receiver-esque answer. And he says he knows what his role is. A great leader is also a great follower. And he said, it's a lot of talent in the room. It'll be a lot of competition for spots. And he said they all have to work together. And yeah, that's the beautiful thing about just having a plethora of wide receivers. Not much will be given. A lot of it will be earned. O'Dell back in junior, obviously, he's going to be one of the starters. Rashal Bateman, he's going to be one of the starters. But after that, it seemed like it's a big toss-up. He was asked about Bateman, young wide receiver coming back from injury. And the guy said, you have a lot of experience with that. And I was like, ooh, I mean, that's true. But I was like, ooh, okay, man. I would say, have you given him any advice or talk to talk with him on that? And O'Dell said injuries are different. And they can be a fear that you don't want to have that same injury again. But the only way to really conquer it is to just dive all the way back into playing football. So you can't really think about it. It's tough not to, but you just got to jump back in. And I know, especially yesterday with the whole, I'm going to call it, quarter zone gate. Because it's like, I know a lot of Ravens fans are tripping over that. And I get the concern. But at the same time, it's still early. It's very early. But I know I've seen a lot of Ravens fans saying, hey, this is why we need to send Deandre Hopkins. Like me, I was talking about Deandre Hopkins before we even heard about this whole shot that Rashal Bateman got. But um, so I'll be down for Deandre even before that. But I know a lot of Ravens fans will justifying bringing in Deandre Hopkins because of that. And again, stay ready so you ain't got to get ready anymore to marry your quality. Y'all already know. But we'll see. And what's been your favorite thing about being a dad? And O'Dell said every moment, watching his daily development, it's crazy to see your little human grow up in front of your eyes. And you can't wait to be done with work and spend time with them. That's true. Now, where does your confidence come from? And O'Dell Beckham Jr. said, I've been doubted all my life and the time off allowed me to grow and learn. Said his last season was long. His longest season. He said he told Cooper Cup that he was glad the Super Bowl was the last week. Because he told Cooper Cup like he couldn't do another week of football. So, oh, that boy was playing through some pain right there, man. That sounds harsh. But anyway, and then of course, after that, that's when Jocina asked the question about Deandre Hopkins. So, yeah, man, it was nice to actually finally see O'Dell Beckham Jr. in the Ravens jersey yesterday. And they talked about, no, Jeff brought it up in an article that he posted today on the athletic that said O'Dell Beckham Jr. had failed down. And everybody was kind of like looking around real quick. But then he got up, he got on one knee and he was laughing about it. And then he did some pushups. So it was a big sigh of relief. And I know that's how it's going to be too. Throughout many camps these next two days, and then training camp, all of that stuff, it's going to be a lot of people holding their breath. O'Dell Beckham Jr. showed up at just everybody because just of recent history. So hopefully that recent history can be changed. And everybody can be nice and healthy. And this season, like, because again, the biggest thing with this season, health, health, health, health. So we'll see how things go. Team Keep It Clean, I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. I really, really appreciate all the comments hoping that we get better. I hope we get better. I do feel a little better from yesterday. I feel stomach-wise, it's not nearly as queasy as it was yesterday. Now, I feel like maybe I feel like a little bit of like sinus, like a little tiny bit of a little baby coat or something like that. We'll see though. But yeah, I do feel a lot better. Carter, he got really good sleep last night. And he just, he seemed like he's doing a lot better. My wife, she's a little rough right now because she got like this like cold or whatever. So yeah, man, we're getting there though. So by the end of this week, hopefully we'll be all good to go. But yeah, so yeah, just want to give y'all an update. I appreciate all the comments. I apologize that I cannot respond to all the comments that y'all put in the comments section. My apologies for that. That's why I'm looking forward to slow season because it's after many camp, stuff is going to slow down like a whole lot. So I'll be able to respond to more comments then. So I'm looking forward to that. And that's going to be the last slow period, like the last slow month and a half before things ramp up and they get extremely crazy like they do every single year. So y'all know how it goes. Y'all know how football season and football offseason works. So I ain't got to tell y'all, but just a nice reminder because when it's slow, it's like, and that's the thing. Like last year, I remember last year, it was slow season, but it was just crazy. It was crazy. This offseason is supposed to be slow season, but it's still been crazy. So even though I'm anticipating when it slows down or anticipated to slow down, but it's probably still going to be a lot of craziness like it always is. But we'll see how things go. I love y'all so much team keeping clean. I really appreciate y'all like crazy and we out.
