Odell with Johnny Football during Start of OTAs

TMZ reported Beckham spent time this week running passing drills with his pal Johnny Manziel, the infamous NFL flameout who’s said to be working on a comeback.

The session, recorded on the Instagram feed of sneaker artist Kickasso, included a number of receivers in addition to Beckham, and the website reported Manziel, who last took a pro snap in 2015 before a disturbing downward spiral washed out his 2016, flashed some of his old skills. Manziel has been reported to be working with California-based quarterback tutor George Whitfield.

And George Whitfield?  
GuzzaBlue : 5/24/2017 11:53 am : link
The QB guru guy? I guess if your attempting a comeback theres no better guy, but he literally works with almost every college QB so it's not like this guy is a magician. A lot of guys he tutors amount to nothing in the NFL. And plus can he stop Manziel from scoring a rock to snort when he goes out on the town. I think that's the biggest issue w/ him.
biggest takeaway I have from that quote  
pjcas18 : 5/24/2017 11:53 am : link
is there is a sneaker artist (whatever that is) named kickasso.


It's like picasso and kick ass combined. Awesome.

He just signed a fat shoe contract. Fan perception of professional direction is usually not what's best for a player. By being who he is he just secured his entire financial future.

Micheal Vick signed a big deal with Nike too right before his career was destroyed by bad choices in his everyday life.

Michael Vick ran a long term criminal enterprise that managed to check the boxes of animal cruelty AND illegal gambling.

OBJ partied on a boat, lost his temper one time, and skipped a couple days of OTAs.

Totally comparable.

but that is a peculiar place for him to be and a peculiar person for him to be working out with. It's good for Manziel, but how is it good for Beckham? Do they have the same agent? Is he doing someone a favor?

OBJ partied on a boat, lost his temper one time, and skipped a couple days of OTAs. Played one of the worst games a WR could have in a playoff game,after running around pregame shirtless like an eight year old on a slurpy high.

Totally comparable.

There fixed it.
So OBJ was working out with a bunch of other football players

every single player says he is the hardest working guy on the team, god forbid he has a little fum every once in awhile...

by the way go look up how many players have been missing their teams otas...
So he's rather be with a partying drunk  
nicky43 : 5/24/2017 12:44 pm : link
than with his team. Who you hang out with say a lot about ones character. He couldn't have painted a worse picture if he tried. The stupidity of some of these players is truly mind boggling!

you realize the entire tram partied the night before the superbowl in 2011?

going out eithout a shirt on is acting like a moron? how about all the offensive lineman who warm up with no sleeves on because they want to show they are tough?

hoe about the giants team wearing black for super bowl 42?
Good for Manziel  
HomerJones45 : 5/24/2017 12:56 pm : link
he obviously is an alcoholic and I don't get why fans get on him about a disease. Hopefully, he is being treated and can get his life back on track.

Alcoholism is not a disqualification for a professional athletic career. The various HOF's have a few high-functioning and reformed alcoholics. Manziel is 24 years old, he's got time to get his life back together.

I'll bet you just love complete useless failures on a message board giving you advice on who you should and shouldn't be hanging out with in your off time, huh?

So, nicky43 didn't show up for the voluntary company bowling outing, let's go to her house and burn it down! She's prolly hanging out with that recovering alcoholic Barb, from the cafeteria instead! That bitch!

They share a trainer. Landry works with him too.

I wouldn't want the optics of being connected directly with trash like Manziel if I were him, especially at the expense of OTAs, but then again, I wouldn't want my tattoo artist posting pictures to the gram of me getting an ass tattoo either. His image choices are what they are.

Got it. Nothing to see here, just like everything else this offseason. All good.

Odell Beckham Jr.'s been training w/ Jamal Liggin for 3 years.
Liggin has also trained Lynch, Bush, Landry, Manziel, etc.


Nope no warning flags.

OK I get that in an ideal world...  
Jason in OR : 5/24/2017 1:36 pm : link
OBJ should be at every single session ever, voluntary, schmoluntary.

The hyperbole over him "taking passes" from JM over EM is almost comical. When you are at a camp of your own choosing with other athletes working out together, well someone has to throw the football.

While JM is a human trainwreck, at one point the kid was pretty damn good at lobbing the spheroid object around.

This isn't OBJ choosing JM over EM, its him doing his own workout with his own crew and JM happening to be there lobbing the pigskin, and ODB is STILL coming up to NJ for "voluntary" workouts.

BTW anyone want to tell me how long each workout is allowed to go for.. welp that would be 6 hours a day, and its 7 on 7 and 11 on 11s allowed, with all the new guys on board how many "snaps" do you think ODB missed over day one and two... so he missed a total of 12 hours voluntary limited snaps in NJ to workout with other pro receivers running routes as long as he wanted and is heading there for the 3rd allowed session.

Yes I agree optics are not great, and Im not defending him, I think he does need to think about how things look sometimes, but this isn't like he is snorting blow off a tranny hookers ass with JM at a brothel in vegas while he isnt in NJ, the kid was "still" working out, and is still going to go join the team...
Look I like OBJ  
River : 5/24/2017 1:42 pm : link
But he seems to be going down a path similar to a lot of great players whose career was sidelined by what happened off the field. Diva WRs don't tend to have long fruitful careers.

Also if he stumbles it give the media the ammunition it needs to go after him. Distractions are generally not good for teams trying to win it all.
