When former All-Pro wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. signed with the Baltimore Ravens before the season, he undoubtedly expected to put up bigger numbers than he has so far this season. But while his struggles have clearly been frustrating, it doesn’t sound like he’s too worried about it as long as his team is winning.
During a recent press conference, Odell Beckham Jr. acknowledged that he expects more production from himself, but also made it clear that his primary goal is to help get the team to a Super Bowl championship.
“I didn’t come here with the expectation that I’d be going for 2,000 yards,” Beckham said according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. “We’re trying to win a Super Bowl, so it is what it is, at this point. Just walking the fine line of being grateful for being back on the field but definitely not being content with how I am in terms of what’s going on.”
So far this season, Beckham has just 14 catches for 162 yards and no touchdowns. He’d obviously like to be more productive than that, but at the end of the day he’s just happy that his team is winning and is in title contention.
“It’s just about finding ways to win at this point,” Beckham said. “Honestly, trying to get rings on your finger. That’s a lot of fun, I can tell you that much. So that’s the goal.”
