Both Odell Beckham Jr. and Dennis Rodman enjoy a ton of respect from sports fans. Apart from being champions in their respective fields, the two share more in common than we might realize. Rodman stood as a mammoth on the defensive end while OBJ tortured many defensive schemes. Both men even went on to have massive cultural impacts throughout their careers. However, there is one more similarity between the two which has recently become very visible.
In addition to sharing a winner’s mindset, the 5x NBA champion and the New York Giants legend have come to share a trademark hairstyle as well. Beckham was recently spotted running some drills, and while everything else seemed regular for OBJ, his colorful head just stared at you.

Dennis Rodman’s tenacity has been the separating factor from his peers, no wonder the ‘Worm’ went on to win with the San Antonio Spurs and the Chicago Bulls.
While many athletes have had their own unique way of paying homage to Rodman, Odell Beckham Jr. chose a not-so-subtle path out of it.
The three-time pro bowler and star wide receiver replicated one of the most iconic Rodman look ever.

Back when Rodman turned up with this hairstyle, the Chicago Bulls were a force to be reckoned with, and maybe Odell Beckham Jr. is hoping to replicate similar success.
In the video, OBJ can be seen chasing after a ball relentlessly before successfully securing it with just one hand. Beckham’s mere appearance is enough to remind you of the legend Rodman, while his tattoos just amplify the resemblance.

OBJ’s future?
As it currently stands, free agent Odell Beckham Jr. is still not committed to any team. Despite having multiple negotiations with the Dallas Cowboys, the New York Giants, and the Buffalo Bills, OBJ has decided to dedicate his body to recovery first.
Beckham’s ACL surgery has been a massive setback for the wide receiver, and he intends to get to his fullest before signing any contracts. Even though it has been an entire year since Beckham has had his knee operated on, the pro bowler feels not at all close to a hundred per cent of his abilities.
