OBJ video goes viral, raises eyebrows

NEW YORK (TNS) – Might seven seconds of video compromise Odell Beckham Jr.'s future with the Giants?

Beckham was featured in a short video clip that made its way around the internet on Friday showing him with what many interpret to be drugs. The Giants' star receiver is shown in bed with a woman (they are both clothed, with him under the blanket) and a pizza while holding what appears to be a brown cigarette in his hand. Toward the end of the video, the woman is holding a credit card near a white substance on a flat surface. Beckham can be heard saying: "I'm trying to get you to sleep with someone." He does not appear to realize he is being recorded.

The NFL said it is aware of the video but declined to comment. The Giants are also aware of the video and declined to comment.

There is no other context to the video, which appears to have been first distributed via Snapchat.

It is the latest in a series of high-profile off-field incidents that raise the eyebrows of Giants fans as well as management. Incidents also include Beckham's participation in a Miami getaway with fellow receivers less than a week before his first playoff game in January 2017 and his punching a hole in the wall at Lambeau Field following that playoff loss a few days later.

Beckham, 25, is coming off a season that was shortened by ankle surgery and is playing on the last year of his rookie contract. In January, team co-owner John Mara spoke about the possibility of signing Beckham to a long-term contract.
