Former LSU star Odell Beckham Jr. caused quite a stir when he handed out wads of cash to at least three Tigers players on the field after they beat Clemson in the national championship game. But some of the money went to a good cause.
LSU receiver Justin Jefferson told reporters Tuesday at the NFL combine that he took the money Beckham had given him and donated it to his church.
“We had some doubts about it,” Jefferson said of taking Beckham’s cash. “We know we shouldn’t have done it.”
Beckham was seen on video in the postgame celebration peeling off $100 bills and handing them to Jefferson and junior receiver/cornerback Jontre Kirklin.
