Odell Beckham Jr. Nike Promotion

RELICDOA : 1/26/2015 6:25 pm

I'm pretty sure he is affiliated with Nike? If so I'm not sure why they have not latched onto him and started heavy promotions. Similar to Bo knows ads back in the day. The kid is a marketing machine. Will we see him have his own apparel and sneaker along with commercials???
Regardless if you are a fan of the Giants the kid is so special that as an average fan you just appreciate his ability similar to a Jordan and Bo. ESPN latched onto him and JJ last night to market the game. I see the same in the future for Nike.

This is a lot for a rookie...

I sure hope he's grounded because this could really go his head.

OBJ has a lot

to live up to next year. Too much too soon can be trouble some times. Seems to be accepted and liked by the players at the pro-bowl which is a good thing. To keep him from being mugged illegally on the field next season. The all pros us have a lot of respect in their lacker rooms.

Let's hope the kid stays grounded

He still has a lot to learn in the NFL. What does he do when he sees consistent double teams? What will he do when bigger corners press him at the Line of scrimmage? How will he cope with another star receiver in Victor Cruz? He is on his way to superstardom but he isn't there yet.

By this time next year

OBJ will be much like Johnny Football.

i hope he picks up a few things from Cruz

about how to handle being a media star, not jsut a professional star, while maintaining his humility

Nike normally doesn't do it so soon. Eventually he will get a themed sneaker of a current Nike model like JJ Watt, LeSean McCoy have gotten. Eventually it might turn into the Air Odell like Revis & Calvin Johnson have gotten recently. Normally takes them a little while.
