Cleveland Browns wideout Odell Beckham Jr. was the most fired up after LSU’s national championship win over Clemson on Monday, and with good reason — his alma mater won its first title since 2007.
He was so excited, in fact, that he took out a wad of cash and started handing out money handshakes to players, something that was captured on camera by someone on the field. What we didn’t see was what happened next, although we can bet someone in the compliance office made sure that cash wasn’t kept.
Here’s the footage, which is just awesome to watch even though the NCAA probably disagrees:
Those are wideouts Justin Jefferson and Jontre Kirklin, both juniors who could head to the NFL draft this year, so maybe Beckham knew that their college careers were over?
Whatever. All we know is LSU coach Ed Orgeron got an extra $500,000 for the win, and as my colleague Andy Nesbitt pointed out, that’s ridiculous. The players should make something for their hard work, and Beckham seems to agree.
