Los Angeles Rams WR Odell Beckham Jr. seems to have had a really bad time in Cleveland. In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Rams OLB Von Miller did reveal that OBJ did advise him against joining his then franchise the Cleveland Browns. Both players did end up teaming up at the Rams franchise after the Browns did release OBJ from his contract.
Both Miller and OBJ were reportedly rehabbing their injuries together and looking at potentially teaming up with each other. The now Rams teammates did train together and were on the same page about getting together but OBJ did make his feelings known. Miller does reveal OBJ stating, “Don’t come to Cleveland.” He was visibly considering moving to newer pastures and didn’t want Miller to move there to fulfill their dream to play together.
