OBJ, a former first round pick by the Giants, spent his first five seasons with the Giants. He notched over 1000 yards in four of the five years. His presence on social media and on the field caused concerns for the Giants’ front office throughout the years. But his talent as one of the best receivers in the league is unquestionable.
As for the Browns, they’ve added another huge piece to the now-contending team. Earlier in the offseason, Cleveland announced the signing of running back Kareem Hunt, and just recently traded for Giants’ edge rusher Olivier Vernon. After bright season performances from rookies Baker Mayfield and Nick Chubb, the Browns have one of the most talented receiver duos in the league. WRs Jarvis Landry and OBJ are long-time close friends and former teammates at LSU. That offense is going to look to cause damage in the AFC North and the rest of the league.
