Cleveland Browns
Odell Beckham has quite the unique perspective on the COVID-19 pandemic … saying he’s developed a “mutual respect” with the virus … which essentially makes him feel immune.
Really.
Remember, the Cleveland Browns superstar came down with a bug days before Sunday’s game against the Steelers … and many feared it was the ‘rona taking over another NFL organization.
Despite testing negative for the virus, OBJ was asked Wednesday if he was scared his illness was COVID-19 at the time … and the dude made a gem of a statement.
“No, not in an arrogant way,” OBJ told reporters. “I don’t think COVID can get to me. I don’t think it’s going to enter this body.”
He continued … “I don’t want no parts of it, it don’t want no parts of me. I think it’s a mutual respect.”
It’s not the first time an NFLer has made a questionable comment on the virus — Vikings QB Kirk Cousins channeled his inner Ivan Drago by saying, “if I die, I die” … before later backpedaling on his comments.
