The True Friendship ft. Odell Beckham Jr & Jarvis Landry
Landy and OBJ’s friendship dates back before their LSU and NFL days. Both OBJ and Landry grew up in Louisiana; however, they first got to know each other at a 7-on-7 camp in Alabama. Eventually, they became friends, and both decided to attend LSU with a common goal: to play in the NFL.
Landry and OBJ played together for three seasons at LSU and then two-and-a-half years in the NFL with the Cleveland Browns. In addition to being close friends off the field, they made one of the most prolific receiving tandems in the NFL.
