Odell Beckham Jr. shows off fútbol skills with Bayern Munich (Video)
By Brad Weiss
Odell Beckham Jr. can certainly play American football, but he recently showed he can play fútbol as well.
Odell Beckham Jr. is a superstar in the National Football League, as he is arguably the most talented wide receiver in the game. On the gridiron, he makes acrobatic plays for the New York Giants, and has been one of the best in football since being drafted by the Giants out of LSU.
However, Beckham Jr. also can play futbol, and showed off his skills during a trip to Germany to visit Bayern Munich. This came on the heels of OBJ saying he wanted to train with his “cousin” David Beckham.
Here is a look at Beckham Jr. showing off his soccer skills:
Bayern Munich had a lot of fun with Beckham Jr., tossing around the football with him, as well as presenting him with a custom jersey.
Back in 2015, Beckham Jr. said that if he had stayed with soccer as a youth, he would be a professional by now. With how athletic he is, there is no reason to believe he would not have been a great soccer player, but at the level of Bayern Munich may be a stretch.
The trip was a part of a busy week for the Giants’ receiver, who also attended the ESPYS, the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, to go along with his trip to Germany. Beckham Jr. is an international superstar, and he continues to grow his brand.
The New York Giants will open up their 2016 schedule on the road against their rival Dallas Cowboys on September 11.
