In February, shortly after winning the Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams, wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and his girlfriend Lauren Wood welcomed their first child together. The two had a son named Zydn, and even though he is less than three months old, Beckham is making sure he knows the fundamentals of football.
Beckham is seen holding his son, giving the baby a football to run some drills. The 29-year-old says to Zydn, "You drop a ball, you run a mile," getting some laughs from those behind the camera.
Beckham covered Zydn's face in the video.

Where OBJ will be playing next year is still unknown. He injured his knee in the Super Bowl against the Cincinnati Bengals and is expected to miss some of the 2022 season, which could impact the free agency.
