Odell Beckham Jr. Surprises Giants Fans As Undercover Lyft Driver

Beckham, 24, posed as undercover driver for ride-sharing service Lyft this week. With sunglasses and a beanie on, none of his passengers immediately recognized him and held casual conversations with the wideout, even talking about Beckham and the Giants along the way.

Beckham even tried dropping clues about his real identity, but even those didn’t seem to help any passengers realize who was driving them.

“You ever been to Houston?” Beckham asked a passenger about the host of Super Bowl LI. “I’m trying to get there February.”

When Beckham’s mom called him during a ride she told him to “show off [his] one-handed driving.”

Beckham also joked about his unmistakable curly blonde hair. As one passenger said: “I mean… it kinda looks like ramen noodles.”

But it wasn’t until he took off his beanie that the passengers finally recognized the star receiver. Except for one who took it as a cue to roast Beckham.

In previous episodes of Undercover Lyft, Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman and New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski also picked up oblivious fans.
