CINCINNATI -- Odell Beckham Jr. may smile a lot in front of the cameras, but he's trying to get rid of his Angry Young Man persona on the field.
"My passion for the game gets in the way sometimes," he said when asked on Thursday about any weaknesses he feels he has going into his second season. "That anger, and all those things come into play, and it doesn't always work in my favor in my own way."
It's something Beckham and the Giants have been focusing on since last season ended. There were a few too many instances of him pulling his own helmet off on the field, putting himself in precarious situations against opponents, and even being in the middle of a brawl with the Rams.
