Odell Beckham Jr. rants about draft coverage

As the New York Giants were about to use the fourth pick of the 2020 NFL Draft on Georgia offensive tackle Andrew Thomas, the broadcast showed a montage of moments that included former Big Blue wideout and current Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. famously quarreling with a kicking net years ago:

OBJ noticed, and he wasn't too happy about it.

I love how many positives things we could be showing during these times and especially during the draft where these young men are at their dream stage. Yet y’all still like to use one moment of me and the kickin net!!! this world is hilarious ! That shxts really sad

Don’t even make no sense. The draft got nothin to do wit me. I got nothin to do wit the Giants (luv y’all and thank u for everything) but anyways . It’s funny how “I ain’t shxt” yet I be one of the only people to be on every montage and every other segment when u need a headline

Beckham didn't let a quick rant stop him from welcoming Thomas to the fraternity of NFL players and his former employer:

And big congrats to @allforgod_55 !! Best of luck in your career homie!

Never forget that Beckham ultimately made up with the net:
