Odell Beckham Jr. is one of the most dynamic wide receivers in the NFL. He’s also one of the most temperamental in a league full of sensitive players at the position.
But, if we’re supposed to believe what the NFL front office is telling us, Beckham is one of the most “professional” players out there.
That’s because NFL executive vice president Troy Vincent took time to write a letter following Pro Bowl week in Orlando last week. He singled out Beckham Jr. for his professionalism throughout the week according to ESPN.
“I would be remiss not to acknowledge how engaging and professional Odell Beckham Jr. was during the entire week of the Pro Bowl,” Vincent wrote in the letter obtained by ESPN. “By far and away, he represented the New York Football Giants and the NFL with great poise, congeniality, and professionalism.”
Most importantly, the letter was sent to some important powers-that-be across the league, like commissioner Roger Goodell, the Giants ownership group, and head coach Ben McAdoo.
It’s a very different side of a player who is often seen complaining to and about officials. He’s also been far more memorable for on-field brawls with cornerbacks, like Josh Norman of the Washington Redskins, among others.
Oh, and then there’s the infamous net attack incident.
…which resulted in Beckham breaking down in tears on the sideline.

Don’t forget about him punching a hole in the locker room wall at Lambeau Field following a playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers just three weeks ago either.

But he’s super professional, y’all!
Whatever you say, NFL. Whatever you say.
