As Odell Beckham Jr. prepares to face an outspoken cornerback who loves to taunt his opponents on the field and through the media, the Giants’ receiver insists he won’t make the same mistake twice.
No, Beckham vs. Jalen Ramsey will not turn into another Beckham-Josh Norman fiasco.
“I think I learned my lesson,” Beckham said Wednesday as the Giants began preparations for Sunday’s regular-season opener against the Jaguars.
That Beckham-Norman showdown in Week 15 of the 2015 season was one of the low moments of Beckham’s career, as the temperamental wide receiver overreacted to Norman’s mid-week jabs during interviews and a pre-game incident in which the cornerback came onto the field swinging a baseball bat.
