Odell Beckham Jr. raises eyebrows after he appears to hand cash to LSU players after game
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Odell Beckham Jr. raised eyebrows Monday night when he was spotted handing out what appeared to be cash to LSU wide receivers after the Tigers won the national championship.
Beckham, an LSU alum, was on the confetti-laden field of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans and furiously giving cash to Justin Jefferson and Jontre Kirklin. The players appeared to be receiving $100 bills from the Cleveland Browns star.
