Odell Beckham Jr. Still Hasn’t Come to Terms With His Super Bowl Injury: “But God, Did It Really Have to Go Down This Way?”

Odell Beckham Jr. has finally achieved Super Bowl success in the NFL. Fans, coaches, and OBJ himself believed that he was destined for great things, and great things he did indeed. The former LSU wide receiver put on a clinic in the first half. His insane catch for the touchdown is going to be watched over and over again by fans as Super Bowl history. 

And Beckham Jr. got the ring as well. Yet, the Super Bowl LVI Experience was not entirely trouble-free for the talented wide receiver. Rather it was a bittersweet experience as the former New York Giants WR was injured during the second quarter. His knee got messed up and he got helped off the field. It was devastating to watch. 

Although, the birth of his first child and the Super Bowl win, combined to distract OBJ from the ill-fated turn of events for him professionally. 

What if the injury never took place? He had 52 yards with a touchdown when the injury occurred. A chance to play the whole game could’ve meant a Super Bowl MVP for the WR. Furthermore, a Super Bowl MVP plus an injury-free off-season would’ve meant a substantial role for OBJ in the Rams roster next year. 

Odell Beckham Jr. is un-distracted now  

It seem the euphoria subsided and reality kicked in for OBJ. He tweeted that this injury was a tough one for him and reached out to the higher authorities as one does in such a distressful situation. 

Fans can be lovely 

Fans are amazing, obnoxious and they are what makes any sport relevant. They make people relevant too and then shower love and support on these people whenever they might need it.

Yes, the internet is full of hatred and trolling, no two ways about it. But still, there are parts of the social media universe that want to spread joy and prosperity. Above all, they seem like really compassionate people. Here are some of the reactions from his fans that Odell received on Twitter. 

But how often can a celebrity’s Twitter post comment section go witless? Not very often.

It is a tough road ahead for Odell. A knee injury is a tough proposition for any human being, let alone an athlete who depends on his body working at the most optimal level. Fans are hoping to catch the explosive WR on the field, as soon as possible. It is unknown when the WR is expected to return.
