Former NFL cornerback Adam "Pac-Man" Jones compared Odell Beckham Jr. to a Ferrari, and the new Ravens receiver embraces the analogy. However, Beckham is taking a measured approach to his return after an ACL tear, prioritizing long-term performance over rushing back. He's been absent from voluntary OTAs, focusing on individual preparation. Beckham explained his strategy to Fox News Digital, emphasizing the importance of peaking at the right time. He likened his approach to driving a Ferrari in perfect conditions – 82 degrees and a gentle breeze – rather than pushing it in less-than-ideal circumstances. This cautious approach doesn't mean he's not excited to join the Ravens. Beckham confirmed his knee feels great and he expects to be ready for the season opener against the Houston Texans. He's focused on the bigger picture, aiming to maintain peak performance throughout the season. Beckham acknowledges the importance of team chemistry, and he's been in contact with quarterback Lamar Jackson, planning to practice together. He believes true chemistry develops during games, through shared experiences and adjustments. Beckham dismisses outside pressure, stating he has nothing to prove except to himself. He's determined to give his all this season, whether it's his last or not. He's not concerned about proving doubters wrong, focusing instead on his own performance and goals.
