Odell Beckham Jr. made his Baltimore Ravens debut on Sunday, and the star wide receiver paid tribute to a franchise icon when he took the field.

After he emerged from the tunnel at M&T Bank Stadium, Beckham broke into a dance that Ray Lewis made popular when the former linebacker was terrorizing opponents.

OBJ has plenty of experience with the “squirrel dance.” He also did it after he scored a touchdown in just his second NFL season (video here).

Lewis has been critical of Beckham in the past. OBJ said in 2019 that it bothered him how Lewis acted differently toward him in person than he did when he was talking about Beckham on television. It would appear Beckham has gotten over that.
