The Miami Dolphins’ locker room is buzzing with excitement following the recent announcement that star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is set to join the team. This significant addition to the roster has Miami players, notably Jalen Ramsey, eagerly anticipating the upcoming season.
Back in 2021, Ramsey and Beckham Jr. were teammates on the Los Angeles Rams, where their combined efforts played a crucial role in the team’s 12-5 season, culminating in a Super Bowl win. This victory marked the first championship ring for both players.
Shortly after the news of Beckham Jr.’s move to Miami was confirmed, Ramsey took to social media, reminding Beckham Jr. of their successful past collaboration with a tweet: “You remember what happened last time right O? @obj.”
The 2021 season saw mixed fortunes for Beckham Jr., who appeared in only eight games. Despite a promising start in the Super Bowl, with 52 yards from two receptions, his game was cut short due to an ACL tear.
Later, Beckham Jr. humorously speculated that he could have reached 250 yards in the Super Bowl if not for his injury. Now reunited with Ramsey and joining a Dolphins squad that boasts an impressive receiving corps including Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, expectations are high.
The engagement with Beckham Jr. had been in the works for over a month, with the Dolphins expressing serious interest before the draft. Both General Manager Chris Grier and Head Coach Mike McDaniel have been vocal about their desire to add Beckham Jr. to the team’s lineup.
Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, two of Miami’s standout receivers, have also expressed their enthusiasm about Beckham Jr.’s arrival. Hill took to Twitter shortly after the news broke, hinting at the formidable team Miami is becoming with a post saying, “It’s about to get ugly in Miami .” Waddle’s social media post mirrored this excitement, showcasing the team’s eagerness to welcome Beckham Jr. into the fold.
The addition of Beckham Jr. to an already stellar group of receivers sets the stage for a dynamic and potent Miami Dolphins offense. Coach McDaniel faces the enviable task of leveraging this talent as the team looks to implement a playbook that maximizes their collective skills. With Ramsey, Hill, and Waddle’s reactions, it’s clear the Dolphins are gearing up for what could be one of their most exciting seasons yet.
