Jalen Ramsey Believes This LA Rams Player Should Have Won the Super Bowl MVP Instead of Cooper Kupp

If Odell Beckham Jr did not tear his ACL during the Super Bowl LVI game against the Bengals, would he be named the MVP? The Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey thinks so. According to the CB, if the unfortunate injury did not occur and Beckham played the entire game, he would have easily been the MVP. 

Ramsey was a special guest on the Pivot Podcast on Monday. It was his first interview after winning the Super Bowl. The Rams defensive star sat down with the Pivot cast and talked about the journey to his first NFL championship. He also touched upon OBJ and how he helped the team. 

Jalen Ramsey names Odell Beckham Jr the Super Bowl MVP 

The Los Angeles Rams had an amazing 2021 season, which brought them the Super Bowl LVI trophy. Every player, including the HC Sean McVay, gave it their all. Odell Beckham Jr was the wild-card wide receiver added to the team in the middle of the season. It was one of the best decisions ever made. Because Beckham was able to rebuild himself and prosper in a Rams shirt.

Jalen Ramsey, during the Pivot Podcast, praised OBJ a lot. He said, “In the Super Bowl, [Odell Beckham Jr] was really the igniter.” Ramsey adds, “If O could’ve kept going that game, O probably would’ve been Super Bowl MVP. And that ain’t taking nothing away from [Cooper Kupp], but O was really living like that. He was on another level.”

Odell Beckham Jr had already made a mark in the Super Bowl game. During his short time on the field, the WR caught two passes for 52 yards and scored a touchdown. He was crucial to the Rams squad. Many fans were terrified of losing after OBJ injured his knee. But the MVP quarterback Cooper Kupp and the rest of the Rams triumphed.  

The future of OBJ

Odell Beckham Jr is a very talented wide receiver. But currently, he is a free agent. The Rams have not re-signed him yet, but they don’t want to lose him either. Beckham is treating his ACL injury and hopes to return to action soon. 

“He meant a lot to the team. He meant a whole lot,” said Jalen Ramsey. When you talk about performance, we’re in a performance-based industry. He’s a dog. He’s really the dude.” It is clear that at least Ramsey wants to run it back with Odell Beckham Jr.
