Odell 贝克汉姆’现已成为著名的，不可能的一手抓捕牛仔，以藤蔓环的形式永生不朽，立即将他跳入了NFL超级巨星平流层。在一个联盟里 receivers are rarely productive out of college, 贝克汉姆 has produced 90 catch, 1,300 yard seasons in each of his first two years in the 美国橄榄球联盟.

在一个NFL球员极不适合销售的联赛中，因为他们戴着头盔并且不’t easily identifiable, 贝克汉姆’即时可识别的金发和令人惊叹的亮点使他在商业交叉方面取得了成功。在NFL内部，它’s made him a target.

贝克汉姆’最大的现场缺陷与跑步路线或接发球无关，它’s controlling his emotions. Josh Norman, then of the Panthers, laid the blueprint last year when he engaged 贝克汉姆 in UFC-style throwdown. The word is clearly out around the league. If you keep poking him with a stick, he’最终会做出反应。当事情没有了’不走他的路，他不是’t the same player.

在今年’在第3周输给了Redskins的比赛中，他的边路崩溃视频，加上一脚踢网，成了病毒。

 

在昨晚’s 24 – 10 loss to the surging 维京人, 贝克汉姆 took the bait again, this time it was Minnesota cornerback Xavier Rhodes eagerly playing the role of Norman. 贝克汉姆 was frustrated early, and finished the game with a career low 23 yards on just 3 catches. Mission accomplished for the 维京人.

Did the officials miss some calls on 贝克汉姆 last night? Sure. But, the book on him is out. Get into his head, he’ll让你进来。’不要期望敌对的防御会改变他们的方法。他们为什么会呢？

The 美国橄榄球联盟 is a bottom line league, and the bottom line with Odell 贝克汉姆 right now is that his emotions are by far his biggest liability.
