The NFL offseason is a time for bold predictions and endless optimism. Odell Beckham Jr. covered all the bases Monday night at the Met Gala.
The star receiver, whom the Cleveland Browns acquired in a blockbuster trade with the New York Giants, told GQ Magazine he thinks new team can win multiple Super Bowls, and can even replace the Patriots as the league's next dynasty.
“I plan on being there for the next five years and trying to bring as many championships there as possible,” he said, “turning [the Browns] into the new Patriots.”
Beckham is particularly excited about playing with Baker Mayfield, whom Beckham sees as perhaps the best quarterback in the NFL, after just one season.
“I would say he’s next, but I feel like he’s now,” Beckham says. “He’s Brett Favre—he’s going to be a Hall of Famer.”
Beckham's enthusiasm is arguably well-placed given the incredible makeover in Cleveland over the past year. The three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver is but a part of what John Dorsey has built since taking over as general manager on Dec. 7, 2017, and the Browns have gone from league laughingstock to a potential contender.
But it is one thing to have high expectations and quite another meeting them.
In a production and results based league where hardware matters, the Browns have a ways to go before being hailed as a dynasty team like the Patriots.
