The Miami Dolphins starred on "Hard Knocks" during the 2023 in-season version, and now Odell Beckham, Jr. is offering his behind-the-scenes version this year.

Beckham unveiled the first installment of a series titled "A Journey Through Thee Season."

The first episode begins with Beckham attending the Formula One car race at Hard Rock Stadium on the weekend news of his signing with the Dolphins leaked out.

The episode also features his introductory press conference with the South Florida media, his football camps over the summer, OBJ's son meeting Tyreek Hill and doing Jaylen Waddle's penguin dance in front of him, time on a boat with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, and some scenes from his Dolphins debut against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium on October 6th.

This first episode, "Welcome to Miami," can be viewed on Odell Beckam, Jr.'s YouTube channel. The video released Tuesday afternoon had 37,000 views as of Wednesday morning.

Beckham indicated at the end of the video, "We're going to be doing this all year." The series is produced by George Jeff and Filmcrü.

BECKHAM BECOMING MORE OF A FACTOR

While Beckham has yet to be able to make quite the impact that might have been anticipated given his credentials, he has started making some contributions to the offense in recent weeks.

He has seven receptions over the past three games after failing to catch a pass in any of his first three games — against New England, the Indianapolis Colts, and the Arizona Cardinals.

He had two catches in the 34-19 victory against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, including a good third-down reception for a first down.
