Browns QB Baker Mayfield gives Odell Beckham Jr. glowing endorsement
The Cleveland Browns were able to live up to expectations last season after a disastrous season previous. Now the team is hoping to take it a step further in 2021. They will be boosted a healthy Odell Beckham Jr.
Beckham went down with a season-ending knee injury last year. As a result, the Browns were without a go-to wideout outside of Jarvis Landry. Fortunately for Cleveland, the superstar wide receiver appears to be back to his elite form, with quarterback Baker Mayfield already singing his praises ahead of training camp, via Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal.

“About a month ago I would have said that he looks very, very good, and I know after speaking with him that he feels even better,†Mayfield said. “So I’ll let you guys see that for yourself.â€
With Mayfield quickly becoming the leader under center that the team expected out of Oklahoma and the team hitting its stride last season, the Browns will almost certainly be a force to be reckoned with once again in the AFC. Beckham’s presence makes the Browns that much more of a threat offensively if he’s healthy and ready to prove his doubters wrong.
