Odell Beckham Jr. happy to be scoring touchdowns since joining Los Angeles Rams

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — Touchdown shortage? That’s no longer the case for Odell Beckham Jr.

The eighth-year pro has caught four touchdown passes over a five-game span for the Los Angeles Rams.

“It’s been great,” Beckham said about his recent end zone productivity. “Over the last couple of years, I’ve felt deprived. I’ve definitely missed the end zone for sure, and it just hasn’t been as easy and seamless as it could and should be. I’m someone who I feel like I should score once or twice every single game. I feel like I can get 100 yards every single game.”

The Rams signed Beckham to a one-year, $1.25 million contract in November after he cleared waivers following his release from the Cleveland Browns.

In six games in L.A., Beckham is averaging 41.3 receiving yards per game and has caught the four TD passes, including his first scoring reception since Oct. 4, 2020. He has also caught a touchdown pass in three consecutive games for the first time since 2015.

“I’m just happy that I’m at a place that I’m having fun within myself,” Beckham said. “Just having fun playing football again.”

In six games with the Browns this season, Beckham averaged 38.8 receiving yards per game and did not catch a single touchdown pass.

Rams coach Sean McVay described Beckham as “a joy to be around” since his arrival.

“He’s got a great charisma, great presence, he’s an incredibly talented football player and then I can attest to this now, he’s a great teammate,” McVay said. “He really cares about these guys, he’s been incredibly selfless, he’s made plays when he’s had the opportunity.”

Through seven weeks with the Rams, Beckham has not garnered the attention he once received throughout five seasons with the New York Giants or 2½ seasons with the Browns.

He said he knew that would be the case when he signed with a team…
