O'Connell raves about Odell Beckham Jr, not ruling out elevation this week
Kevin O'Connell has a lot of respect for Beckham, dating back to their time together with the Rams in 2021.
Vikings wide receiver Kevin O’Connell expressed his excitement about the team's decision to sign Odell Beckham Jr. to their practice squad. O’Connell, who knew Beckham from their time together on the 2021 Super Bowl-winning Rams, highlighted the wide receiver's versatility and ability to contribute to the offense. While acknowledging that key receivers Jauan Jennings and Tai Felton have struggled, O’Connell emphasized that Beckham's addition could provide much-needed depth and quick acclimation to the Vikings' offense.
The Vikings' uncertainty surrounding the availability of both top receivers this week, due to Jordan Addison's hamstring injury, has made Beckham's potential elevation a subject of interest. O’Connell assured that Beckham, with his impressive track record and quick learning abilities, could be ready to play in Sunday's game against the Saints in New Orleans if needed.
