As visible above, Odell was very excited about his move to the Browns. He thought it would be a fresh start for him, and he’ll prosper in his new surrounding. However, this fresh start for him ultimately ended up as one of his worst experiences.
At that time, OBJ was one of the best WRs in the league. Since he joined the Browns, his stock fell massively. The biggest reason for his failure in Cleveland was his lack of chemistry with quarterback Baker Mayfield. Many people believed that Baker intentionally didn’t want to throw the ball toward OBJ. Moreover, the Browns played well when OBJ was out hurt. It was a major concern for Odell.
