Odell Beckham Jr. stats in his last NFL season

Odell Beckham Jr. helped the Rams win the Super Bowl in 2022

Odell Beckham Jr.'s last season in the NFL was one to remember as he won the Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams in February 2022. He joined the team in November and racked up 48 catches for 593 yards and scored 7 touchdowns in 12 games.

The three-time Pro Bowler also scored a touchdown against the Bengals in the Super Bowl but suffered a knee injury later in the game. Beckham has been out of action since due to his injury but he looked as good as ever during the course of that season.

He was tipped to join the Dallas Cowboys before the transfer deadline in November 2022, but a move failed to materialize. Nonetheless, we expect the 30-year-old to return to the league next season.

Antonio Brown's stats in his last NFL season

Antonio Brown helped the Buccaneers win the Super Bowl in 2021

Antonio Brown didn't have the best of seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last campaign. The receiver managed 545 yards on 42 receptions and scored four touchdowns in seven games.

However, Brown was crucial to Tampa Bay's Super Bowl success in the 2021 season. He linked up well with quarterback Tom Brady but has unexpectedly aimed constant digs at the quarterback since leaving the team last season.

While there is no denying the seven-time Pro Bowler's ability, many believe that his off-field antics will only attract trouble. However, it will be interesting to see whether any team will be interested in signing the 34-year-old free agent in the offseason.
