The initial few weeks with his new franchise proved disastrous. The Rams lost three games back-to-back though having one of its kind players on the roster. However, the team started gaining momentum in the last month of the year and were right on time to reach the top spot in the NFC West conference. While the Browns failed to make the playoffs.
That was his first step to redemption. Since many believed him to be not capable of playing with the Browns. Yet he proved them wrong in his very first season without the likes of Mayfield. OBJ continued his journey through the playoffs and finally reached the most anticipated game of his career; the Super Bowl.
It was for the first time that Beckham ever won a playoff game. And he reached the first Super Bowl game of his career in his debut season with the Rams. After reaching the big game many somewhat expected that OBJ hype. Beckham flaunted his mesmerizing $200,000 diamond-studded shoes during his warmup and was on seventh heaven while playing against the Bengals.
