Odell Beckham uses retweets to fire back at critics

Odell Beckham skips OTAs; uses Twitter to defend himself

It's been a busy week for Odell Beckham.

The Giants wide receiver skipped the team's OTAs, signed a massive shoe deal, was the subject of rumors about dating Iggy Azalea and worked out with Johnny Manziel.

The media went after Beckham for not joining his teammates. Beckham seemed to address this himself on Wednesday when he fired off this tweet.

"If they don't have a story these days they'll make one..." I might get that tatted😂😂 #StayTheCourse

Since then, though, Beckham has been letting others do the talking for him. He's been on a steady diet of retweeting others, including TV One host and journalist, Roland Martin, as well as political analyst, Yousef Munayyer.

My guy @OBJ_3 isn't at OTAs... But he is working out like a madman. Today he had a special position coach stop by: @criscarter80 pic.twitter.com/SfTCRzrbIF

I never seen a workout quite like this. Just a constant stream of footwork drills, resistance drills, and then this, which doesn't look fun pic.twitter.com/QEGDDVI6OR

A veteran skipping OTAs doesn't seem like a big deal, but for Beckham, the criticism seems to matter.
