Browns receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry were among several prominent African-American players to participate in a well-coordinated video speaking out in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Landry posted the video to his Instagram account, as did several other participants including Saquon Barkley, Deshaun Watson, Patrick Mahomes and DeAndre Hopkins.
“What if I was George Floyd,” Beckham and others ask, hoping to make an impact on fans who might not appreciate the enormity of Floyd’s death at the hands of Minnesota police officers. The video closes with Beckham offering a sincere, “black lives matter.”
