“Words don’t even really do it justice for me,’’ said Beckham. “I’m almost giddy, I feel like a little kid with the excitement that I have, seeing Baker, seeing these guys. You know we talk a lot about this offense but this defense is something special and this team is really coming together.’’

While his media session provided plenty of good insight, the biggest statement Beckham made was on the field with what he had on his wrist.
OBJ was spotted wearing the Richard Mille RM 11-03 McLaren during drills in Berea.
The price tag? A whopping $191,500. No big deal when you’ve NFL money.
Despite the huge price tag, the company prides itself on making watches that can be worn.
“We make watches you can wear for any occasion, just as McLaren creates cars that can be driven on a daily basis. We don’t do watches to put in a safe waiting for the next generation,” Richard Mille said.
Beckham certainly is pushing the limits of that statement.
