The Cleveland Browns were expected to be one of the most dominant teams during the NFL's 2021-22 season but are currently last in their division with a 4-4 record. Despite a roster of stars, including Odell Beckham Jr. and former number one overall pick Baker Mayfield, the Browns are at risk of missing the playoffs even though they were considered Super Bowl contenders.
Many fans and analysts have questioned the chemistry between quarterback Baker Mayfield and wide receiver Odell Backham Jr. With OBJ still being considered one of the most dynamic wide receivers in the league and Mayfield having a breakout season last year, viewers have wondered why the two haven't clicked on the field.
OBJ's father, Odell Beckham Sr. expressed his frustration after his son had a career-low one catch for six yards in the Browns' loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. OBS called out Mayfield by reposting a YouTube video titled, "Odell Beckham is Always Open for the Cleveland Browns in 2021."
The 11-minute video exposes various times where Mayfield has either missed a wide-open OBJ or opted not to throw to the star receiver at all. Many viewers of the Instagram post agreed with OBS' frustrations, while he defended his son by responding to a few detractors.
"Generally Behind Da Scene, BUT NOT TODAY," Odell Beckham Sr. wrote in his caption. "#imafatherbeforeanything #mytwin #myace #mya-1 #imhurtinfr #playinghurt #ihurt4him #thisreallyhurts #veryhurtful #disrespectful #whenihurthehurtikno #iloveclevelandlikeilovehome #ilovemysonMO #7-eleven #open #24/7 #ALLLOVE #BEckhamLEGENDARY @obj."
Since his trade to the Cleveland Browns in 2019, Odell Beckham Jr. only has 1,586 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns. He recorded 1,450 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2015 alone during his 2015 season with the New York Giants.
