Ever since he came to the league in 2014, wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. had always set his sights on winning and achieving greatness as his football career progresses. The Cleveland Browns star went on to garner individual accolades which cemented him as one of the marquee players of the league.

However, Beckham has yet to hear the sweet sound of victory as he only went to the playoffs once in his seven-year career thus far. He failed to make it back to the postseason since the 2016 Wild Card playoffs against the Green Bay Packers.

The former LSU Tiger voiced out his frustrations as his team was dealt with a 38-6 beating by the Baltimore Ravens during their opening game of the 2020 season.

“The same way I felt after any loss,” he said Tuesday on a video call. “Go to sleep at 5 a.m., just up just thinking. When you want to be at a certain level of greatness, anything short of that is never going to be acceptable. I could sit here like it didn’t bother me — not stats, I just mean as far as the way that the game went – but I’d be lying.”

Having spent several seasons in the league already, Beckham wants to change the narrative and get back on the winning track this time with the Cleveland Browns.

“I’m just here at a point in my life where I just want to play football and I just want to win, period,” he said. “There’s nothing else that can distract or deter from those goals. Once I get you all, the world and everyone to understand that I care about one thing – that’s winning and producing – I think you’ll be able to see some of the other actions and look at it from a different perspective than the perspective of a lot of the names and attachments that have been thrown on me in a way.”

The three-time Pro Bowler was limited by the Ravens' defensive line to only 22 receiving yards on 3 receptions without a touchdown scored. Not only him but also wideout Jarvis Landry, running back Nick Chubb, and quarterback Baker Mayfield were relatively non-factors in their first game of the season. Hopefully, the entire Browns unit will be able to get their chemistry going throughout the year for them to ultimately end a 16-year postseason drought.
