Odell Beckham Jr. has been heavily scrutinized lately by the media and former players for his brash actions on the field.
Beckham's emotions have gotten the best of him on a number of occasions, and it appears that opposing defenders are now baiting him into taking unsportsmanlike conduct penalties after the whistle.
It hasn't stopped there, either. Beckham's play seems to dip whenever he has one of these outbursts; he only gained 23 yards through the air on Monday night, a career low.
It's been so bad the last couple weeks that Beckham claims he doesn't enjoy the game anymore. From ESPN:
“Football is my sanctuary,” Beckham told Marks. “It's where I go to escape. It's where I'm most happy. I'm not having fun anymore.”
Support from Dez
With everybody seemingly against Odell, Cowboys star wide receiver Dez Bryant reached out with support for Beckham.
Even though Dez and Odell play for huge rivals in the Cowboys and the Giants, the pair has established a strong bond over the past couple years.
With his good friend in an emotional funk, Bryant tweeted out this message:
Football is a game of emotions… I'm sorry for the ones who don't understand that… No harm intended..#extremelove

In response to a fan saying, “That's why I stand by OBJ.”

Bryant has likely reached out to Beckham outside of the Twitterverse. Hopefully, Odell realizes that there are indeed people on his side rooting for him to respond; even his biggest rivals.
