Ravens Training Camp: 'I Just Feel Good!' WR OBJ Has 'No Limitations'
New Baltimore Ravens wideout Odell Beckham Jr. signed a one-year deal back in April to help bolster the receiver room in Charm City, and to assist in luring franchise quarterback Lamar Jackson to sign a long-term deal with the club.
The last on-field action Beckham saw was in Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles before re-injuring a knee that ended his day early in the Rams' 23-20 win over the Bengals.
OBJ sat out all of 2022 rehabbing and getting ready to pick his free-agent destination while visiting teams like the Cowboys, Bills, Giants and Ravens. Then, this past April, Beckham Jr. signed with Baltimore, ready to resume his career.
And now, the 30-year-old is fully healthy again, and on Thursday at Ravens training camp, told ESPN he's ready. “I don’t know percentages; I just feel good. I feel like I’m going to continue to work to get back to who I know I truly am.”
Entering his first NFL training camp since 2021, OBJ is able to run, cut, and jump without hesitation while showing off his route-running skills once again. Adding to the excitement, he caught a deep pass from Jackson in the first practice of camp on Wednesday.
Beckham said, "I wanted to be grateful for that moment. It was a long time in rehab. I didn't care what happened [on the field]. It was a blessing to step on the field."
Ravens coach John Harbaugh even commented on how comfortable OBJ looks in camp so far. "It seems to be that Odell has a good plan, and I see him working himself on a schedule to be ready to start the season," Harbaugh said. "He's definitely not where he's going to be, but you could see the step from minicamp, so that was a good step in the right direction."
