For someone as talented as Odell Beckham Jr and who has transcended the game the way he has, the past few years have certainly been very unkind to him and that has arguably made him something of an afterthought when it comes to the league landscape.

Whilst he has had his fair share of off-field issues, the recent problems stem from what has happened on the field, as his 2020 season was cut short thanks to an ACL injury. And whilst he was able to get through a whole campaign in 2021, it ended in the same fashion as he was carted off the field in the Super Bowl with the same injury. 

And those injuries are likely to have played a big part in why he hasn’t been able to find a new team this offseason, with teams perhaps cautious about the effects that two ACL injuries in two seasons can do to someone.
