Coming off a trip to the AFC Championship Game with the Baltimore Ravens in 2023, Pro Bowl wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is still trying to be that last piece to another Super Bowl puzzle. Can he be that with the Miami Dolphins?
Taking to X on Saturday, the former NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year commented on his recent move to South Beach. Highlighting the team's notorious speed, he declared that he's part of "the fastest show on turf."
"Damn…I’m really apart of the fastest show on turf," he wrote.
Between Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Raheem Mostert and some other young players on the team, the Dolphins have no shortage of players who can win a footrace with just about any cornerback in the league.
Last year Beckham had 35 receptions for 565 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games and didn't add a whole lot in the playoffs. Though in fairness, he is only a year removed from a very serious knee injury that cost him the entire 2022 season.
It remains to be seen how much gas OBJ truly has left in the tank after all of the injuries he's suffered and underwhelming seasons he's had.
But unlike some other stops he's made in recent years, the Dolphins don't need Beckham to be a star, just a contributor who can make the occasional big play.
Though if he can't even muster that, then he might be in serious trouble moving forward.
