Odell Beckham, Jr. has gained attention and notoriety on the field for his impressive catches and combative behavior, and now the New York Giants receiver has surprised Giants fans yet again off the field.
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.

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