Dolphins coach thought Odell Beckham Jr. could help the team

Odell Beckham Jr</a>. was supposed to be a third receiving option behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

However, Beckham Jr. didn't have much of a role, but in October, Mike McDaniel thought the receiver was going to be a big part of the offense.

"I think it was a step in the right direction, albeit, the box score doesn’t really assess that," McDaniel said of Beckham, via Yahoo.

"From our standpoint from the way we look at offense and the way we look at doing our jobs, I thought he did a good job with the opportunities he had, and we’ll continue to push that envelope because we’re trying to max out what type of football team we are and we know he can help us."

Unfortnately, Odell Beckham Jr. didn't get targeted all that much or have an impact on the Dolphins' offense. With Miami likely out of the playoff picture, Beckham Jr. is now hoping to latch on to a new team and potentially win a Super Bowl.

Beckham Jr. won Super Bowl LVI with the Los Angeles Rams.
