NFL Draft coverage comes complete with emotional scenes, celebrations, anticipation, tears, disappointment, and just about every conceivable human emotion. However, a highlight used by ESPN as part of their coverage triggered a very emotional reaction from a certain NFL superstar.
Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham went on an angry Twitter rant after ESPN showed an infamous clip of Beckham’s ill-fated confrontation with a kicking net in 2016, when he was a member of the New York Giants.
For those who need a reminder.
The airing of this footage did not go unnoticed by Beckham.
Things have gone downhill for Beckham since his time with the Giants. His first year in Cleveland produced nothing but frustration as the former Giant and Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield couldn’t seem to get on the same page. That inability to connect led to an unproductive offensive season which saw the Browns fire their head coach Freddie Kitchens.
The ongoing turmoil has also fueled speculation that Beckham will be traded during the offseason.
