a few years ago Nickelodeon had a kids' choice awards tryout thing at the Giants practice bubble and I took my 2 sons there. They had a bunch of current and former players there (Wing, Jennings, Stephen Baker, Seubert, Snee, etc.) Odell came towards the middle of it and all the kids came flying over to him. He was wearing a Rugrats backpack and was having fun with the kids.
What stuck out to me was that he was down to Earth and looked like he enjoyed being there and was great with the kids even at times when I noticed the Nickelodeon cameras were NOT rolling. So it would have been easy for him to just do it for the footage, but he didn't.
After he stayed to take pictures with all the kids and every kid wanted to meet him. I've seen/met many players in the past, and some aren't the nicest guys around. Odell wasn't one of those guys.
He’s got kind of that soccer player aura to him, where kids are drawn to him. I don’t know how to explain it but it’s like a level up famous from other athletes in U.S. sports.

Dude, did you see what he did to that kicking net? Who cares if he's nice to a bunch of kids.
It seems that he has the admiration and respect of his teammates. That is key. All the press otherwise is BS
OBJ couldn't catch like that in the GreenBay WildCard Game...smh
LOL
you being the first? LOL

Exactly, I felt like my own grandmother had gotten hit. Unforgivable.
