Kaplan MMQB article on Odell Beckham Jr. dealing with fame

31: Odell Beckham Jr.
"Since ‘The Catch,’ Odell Beckham Jr. has been swept up in the whirlwind of instant celebrity. But even as a rookie, his contributions were far greater than that single play. Beckham is poised to become the dominant force the Giants need to get back to the playoffs, as well as one of the most recognizable faces in the NFL… if he can handle the spotlight"

Agreed! And really that will be what the real story is all about. Clearly Beckham has all the skills and talent to be the great player he is for some time. Barring injury, the only thing that could stand in his way is himself by letting all this stuff get to his head and mixing up his priorities where he starts to make bad decisions.

It's hard for many of these kids to come from wherever they come from, get thrown in the spotlight, become overnight millionaires and media darlings, and then keep their heads on straight.

So far so good. I hope for his sake he keeps it that way because he has WAY TOO MUCH TALENT TO WASTE!
