Odell Beckham Jr. is an elite athlete. With that said, it's not much of a surprise to learn that the Cleveland Browns wide receiver has some talent when it comes to throwing the ball.
The three-time Pro Bowler took to Instagram to show off some solid accuracy on an outdoor basketball court. Obviously not taking himself too seriously, Beckham took the snap and was able to throw the ball into a basketball hoop a good distance away.

After being traded from the New York Giants to the Browns last offseason, Beckham was expected to continue being one of the NFL's top wideouts. Instead, OBJ fell short of expectations, as the star receiver recorded 74 catches for 1,035 yards and four touchdowns — his lowest total since the 2012 season in which he only played four games.
While Beckham's viral video is likely the result of boredom while quarantining at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, the 5-foot-11, 198-pound receiver has thrown some passes at the NFL level.
In the Browns' Week 5 game against the San Fransisco 49ers this past season, Beckham got the ball on a reverse during the first play of the game. Instead of running with the ball, Beckham connected with his college teammate Jarvis Landry for a 20-yard pass.
In his last season in New York, Beckham actually had a perfect 158.3 QB rating, as he was 2-2 for 106 yards and two touchdowns.
Going into 2020, Odell Beckham Jr. will look to bounce back from a disappointing 2019 season, and we could possibly see a few more OBJ passes in the process.
