Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr is set to play in his first career Super Bowl this weekend.
OBJ and the Rams will take on Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI.
Beckham Jr landed with the Rams this season after he was released by the Cleveland Browns midseason.
The former LSU star will be a free agent after the 2021 season and he's expected to receive quite a bit of interest after averaging 88 yards per game in the Rams' three playoff wins.
One potential landing spot for Beckham could be the New Orleans Saints.
OBJ, who is a New Orleans native, told reporters this week that he almost signed with the Saints when the Browns released him earlier this season.
And his comments seem to indicate that he'll one day play for New Orleans.
"I was close, very close (to signing with the Saints)," said Beckham (via USA Today). "It just didn't feel like the right time. Right place, wrong time."
That sounds like a man who hopes to play in his home town before he retires.
If the Rams beat the Bengals in the Super Bowl on Sunday, Beckham will have achieved his ultimate goal.
Seems like that would be a great time for OBJ to come home.
