Odell Beckham Jr. with the Cleveland Browns in 2019
During his media availability last month, Cleveland Browns’ Odell Beckham Jr. made some odd comments about the possibility of him contracting COVID-19 during the most recent string of outbreaks throughout the NFL.
Beckham reportedly missed practice one day with an illness that was not COVID. “Not in an arrogant way,” Beckham told reporters. “I don’t think COVID can get to me. I don’t think it’s going to enter this body. I don’t want no parts of it, it don’t want no parts of me. It’s a mutual respect.”
Beckham has been weird for a while, and he has not been a stranger to odd stories like this throughout the past few seasons. This has honestly been a common theme in the NFL with players either saying they are not afraid of the virus or are willing to die – and this may be the attitude that has led to these outbreaks in the league.
