New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is already developing a bad reputation among his peers in just his second season in the league.
Beckham had to expect a lot of contact from opposing defensive backs after his historic rookie season, as they were clearly going to look to take away the Giants’ biggest threat on offense.
But Beckham hasn’t responded well, and his frustration boiled over in Sunday’s game after he got into it with Bills linebacker Preston Brown. Beckham punched Brown after one particular play of the game, and video has recently surfaced which shows how the incident unfolded.
Beckham was fined for his role in the physical altercation, but says he plans to appeal.

Odell Beckham says he’ll appeal his fine. “I get punched every single game. I get hit in my face every single game.”

OBJ needs to focus inward and get back to producing at the ridiculous level that he was at last season. Multiple Bills players even called him a “prima donna,” and it’s clear that opposing defenders will attempt to get in his head in the future.
