Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr sadly tore his ACL during the early portions of the Super Bowl win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Beckham was distraught when he learned that he would be unable to help his team in their biggest game of the season. While teammate Robert Woods' own ACL injury didn't occur during a game, the veteran wideout still knows how Beckham was feeling in that moment. As reported by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Woods made a heartwarming gesture towards Beckham after his ACL injury.

This is a truly great gesture by Robert Woods to his Rams teammate Odell Beckham Jr. Beckham returned to the locker room and was in tears, which is when Woods came over and consoled him.
Woods, understanding not only the pain of Beckham's injury but also the pain of not being able to help his teammates, shared tears with his fellow Rams wideout.
Thanks to Woods' encouraging words, Beckham was able to get himself in a better place to come out and support his teammates in the Super Bowl. As Rapoport notes, Woods and Beckham haven't even shared the field together and the friendly bond between the two is already evident from this heartwarming interaction.
Robert Woods is truly an exemplary teammate.
