During his first practice with the Ravens, a 30-year-old player has been capturing attention and turning heads, following his remarkable $15 million deal. The WR has made quite the impression on Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, who commends his exceptional on-field agility, sharp routes, and astonishing catches. Lamar enthusiastically shared his thoughts after throwing passes to this three-time Pro Bowler for the first time during their practice session.

Having recently secured a Super Bowl ring with the Rams in 2021, this Pro Bowler faced the daunting task of recovering from his second major knee injury. However, he miraculously managed to captivate the gaze of both Jackson and his newly formed teammates. Among the Ravens, quarterback Lamar Jackson is particularly delighted with the team’s decision to sign Odell Beckham Jr.

Odell Beckham Jr. and Lamar Jackson’s connection

Now, someone who is clearly thrilled to join forces with OBJ is quarterback Lamar Jackson. This week was the first time they practiced together as Ravens, and Lamar couldn’t hide his admiration for Odell’s skills today.

Lamar expressed Wednesday, “I think he [OBJ] looked pretty smooth, ‘Crisp routes, Great hands’ as everybody knows, you [Odell] can catch the ball, look pretty good out there.” Lamar didn’t stop here, also stated, “Odell is a legend to a lot of us you know, what he did early in his career and you know the past year when he was with the Rams and stuff like that. You know Odell is him.”

Odell and Lamar have a bond that goes beyond their respective fields, and they have shown their deep respect for each other’s talents. They plan to meet up in South Florida and keep working together, which they have done tirelessly this week.
