Odell Beckham weighs in on former teammate Eli Manning’s benching
Eli Manning is being benched this week in favor of New York Giants rookie Daniel Jones. If someone knows a little about that situation, it’s Odell Beckham Jr., who was Manning’s teammate on the Giants from 2014-2018.
Beckham is now with the Cleveland Browns and was asked on Wednesday for his thoughts on his former quarterback being benched. He said there was “nothing but love” for Eli.

The two have had some loving moments, such as their excellent Super Bowl commercial. They have also had their issues, such as when Eli got sick of Odell’s antics.
Odell was part of the team in 2017 when Eli was benched for Geno Smith — a move that caused fury throughout New York. The franchise is coming to find out now that they have little choice but to bench him if they want a better shot at winning.
