By any account, Odell Beckham Jr. has had a successful NFL career. The 30-year-old took the league by storm in his debut season in 2014, winning the league’s Offensive Rookie of the Year award while making his first of three consecutive Pro Bowls with the Giants. He won a Super Bowl title with the Rams and has made a life-changing amount of money—though, by at least on former All-Pro wide receiver’s account, he could have made even more had injuries not sidetracked his trajectory.
Former Bengals great Chad Johnson said on his podcast with former league MVP Cam Newton—the Uno & Ocho Show—that Beckham could have made history by earning the first $200 million contract for a wide receiver in league history.
“I wish we could rewind back the time and he never gotten hurt. I think [Beckham] might have been the first $200 million deal,” Johnson said, per the New York Post. “He does more than just play football. He’s bigger than that.”
