This afternoon, the Cleveland Browns officially introduced star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to the team. They held a press conference that featured Beckham alongside quarterback Baker Mayfield, defensive end Myles, and fellow wide out and former LSU teammate Jarvis Landry.

Beckham was introduced by new head coach Freddie Kitchens as he was quoted earlier in the week about being excited for the arrival of the superstar, and he would be wanting to give Beckham a big hug upon his arrival to the team.
The day was mostly just a formality and a chance to let the press ask him some question and give fans the chance to see Beckham rocking his new threads.
One of the highlights came from QB Baker Mayfield when he quipped, “This is the most people we’ve had in this room, ever.”
Beckham, who was traded from the New York Giants a few weeks ago, said that he was both “shocked” and very “emotional” after hearing the news from NY GM Dave Gettleman. He’s already looking ahead to his new chapter with Cleveland, expressing his excitement to be playing with his best friend Jarvis Landry.
One thing is for sure, all eyes will be on Cleveland heading into the 2019 season, something that would’ve been a far cry just two years ago.
