Cleveland Browns star Odell Beckham Jr. is taking some time to himself before training camp begins.
OBJ posted on his Instagram story Wednesday that he was “Going away till July 1st for training,” according to Cleveland.com. Training camp will get underway July 25. (RELATED: New York Giants Trade Odell Beckham Jr. To The Cleveland Browns)

Given how much of a circus has been surrounding the Browns this off-season, this isn’t a bad move at all. OBJ has taken plenty of heat for not really being around, and I don’t blame him for wanting to get away.
In fact, it might be the best option on the table for him. He can go train in private, he can get away from the noise and he can show up refreshed and ready to work at the end of July.
If privacy is what helps him get the job done, then he should absolutely go down that avenue.

What I do know for sure is the Browns and OBJ are going to have an insane amount of pressure on them this season. They went from being a joke to being one of the most hyped teams in the league.
Along with all that hype comes some huge expectations. That’s the nature of the business. If players don’t like it, then they’re in the wrong business.

The 2019 season is going to be a fun one, and the Browns will be center stage with OBJ to get the party started. Only time will tell if they can live up to the unreal amount of hype.
