Former LSU football wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr had a defensive impact for the Tigers in 2013.

Odell Beckham Jr’s five receptions for 50 yards helped LSU football beat Texas A&M in 2013, but that wasn’t his biggest impact on the matchup.

OBJ’s biggest impact came on defense……despite not playing a down on the defensive side of the ball.

That’s because, during the week of practice leading up to the game, Beckham worked as the scout team quarterback, mimicking Johnny Manziel.

OBJ didn’t take it easy on his teammates, either.
