Odell Beckham Jr. and Lamar Jackson share a close relationship. The two had a friendly bond even before they joined forces with the Ravens this year. Jackson was all praise of Beckham Jr, as he referred to the Pro Bowl WR as a legend owing to his “crisp routes” and “great hands.” He also acknowledged the wide receiver’s “smooth” performance during mandatory training camps.
The duo is seemingly stepping up their collaboration, as Jackson showered his appreciation for Beckham’s participation in a cause that means the world to the QB.

The Ravens QB was filled with appreciation and gratitude for his fellow mate Beckham Jr. as he showed up for the annual event ‘Funday with LJ’ hosted in Pompano Beach in Florida. The event was organized through Jackson’s nonprofit charity organization Forever8Dreamers, dedicated to empowering and inspiring children. The event serves as an opportunity for kids to interact with QB where they feature fun activities and games. This time, kids were elated as the Pro Bowl receiver turned up at the request of Jackson, and the QB took to Twitter to express his gratitude for his valuable participation.
Thank you @obj for pulling up to Funday With LJ! We appreciate the love and support!, he jotted on his charity’s Twitter page.

The bond with Beckham Jr. is even more special for Jackson as the wideout even played a big role in keeping the QB in the franchise.
The Beckham effect?
After being away from the field for over a year due to an ACL injury, Beckham Jr. signed a one-year deal with Ravens for a guaranteed $15 Million. The wideout’s arrival was deemed an olive branch to a disgruntled Jackson, who was on the verge of leaving the franchise after finding that the team was not ‘meeting his value’.With a potential wideout like OBJ on board, Jackson was all in, sealing the deal with Ravens for a massive five-year extension worth $260 million.
