He sends a clear message

Odell Beckham Junior may be the most exciting player in the NFL.

Don’t believe us? Have you not seen this catch?

Being so well known, Beckham Junior is always going to be subject to criticism and despite it being the off-season that is no different.

The New York Giants wide receiver attended his team’s mandatory minicamp but opted out of the organised team activities which didn’t go down well with media in the city according to Bleacher Report.

The thought process in the big apple is that the 24-year-old did that in an effort to improve his footing in contract negotiations and his new boots, or cleats as they are called on that side of the Atlantic, and it sends a clear message to the New York press.

A number of news outlets are branded on his custom cleats with ‘shhhhhhh’ sprayed across the top of them.

He’s letting his feet do the talking.
