Odell Beckham Jr. signed a contract with the Baltimore Ravens during the NFL offseason, surprising many fans.
This contract was signed before Lamar Jackson solidified his playing status for 2023, which led many to believe that he will be back with the Ravens.
While the NFL waits for Jackson, Beckham’s name has been circulating throughout the media, although, not for his on-field play.
According to a recent TMZ report via Dov Kleiman, Beckham was named as a suspect in an assault investigation, which he has denied.

Initial reactions to this report have been mixed, especially given the contents of the TMZ report.
While fans across the league certainly are not in favor of these actions, if they did occur, many have already indicated their belief in Beckham.

As these fans and many others have shared, this snippet of the article might be enough to exonerate Beckham.
This incident occurred in Los Angeles, and if this reporting is true, the owner of the building has already said that this claim is false.
While some fans have expressed that they don’t believe these claims, others aren’t so sure.

As this fan indicates, Beckham has found himself in trouble before, and this situation could be a repeat of past offenses.
Other Ravens fans have expressed their disdain for this allegation, as Beckham is slated to be Jackson’s top receiver.

This is a very new development, one that will be continuously updated as more information is revealed.
With the NFL Draft on the horizon, however, the Ravens might need to take a second look at receivers, just in case.
