Odell Beckham Jr.'s former teammate in Cleveland, John Johnson, expressed skepticism following the Rams trading for the star wide receiver. Johnson let his thoughts be known, which Ari Meirov from Pro Football Focus then shared to the world.

While speaking to reporters, Johnson provided his thoughts on the subject.

“They had a good thing going, a complete offense. I know from being in LA, I know for a fact, that offense runs through Cooper Kupp… the run game, the pass game, the screen game, it kinda runs through Cooper Kupp. Obviously, Odell, he's a big name and he is going to want that attention as well, so it'll be interesting… I wouldn't really want to go there if I were him.”

John Johnson spent the first four years of his career with the Rams, so he has greater insight. But a lot of people were probably thinking the same thing when news broke that Odell Beckham Jr. signed with the Los Angeles Rams.

The sports world has been ablaze since the news broke. Superstars like LeBron James and Jarvis Landry have chimed in on social media.

One of the biggest issues in Cleveland was the inability to get the ball in his hands. With the Rams, Matthew Stafford is plenty capable of getting him the ball. However, will there be enough opportunities to keep him happy is what everyone is wondering including Johnson.

Either way, one thing is abundantly clear. The Rams want to win and are willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen.
