Antonio Cromartie calls Odell Beckham Jr. 'a 1-year wonder'
New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. gets called lots of things. Extraordinarily talented. Once in a generation player. One-year wonder? That's a new one.
New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie isn't buying what OBJ is selling just yet, telling ESPN on Friday, "Right now he's a one-year wonder, it's just one year."
Cromartie named Dez Bryant, Antonio Brown, and Calvin Johnson as his top-three receivers in the league, leaving Beckham out because of his lack of long-term production.
"I need to see it on an every-game basis," Cromartie said. "Not him getting penalties or something like that or sucker-punching somebody. I think it's all about how you carry yourself throughout your whole entire career."
The bombastic Cromartie is no rookie when it comes to stirring up controversy with his mouth, trading barbs with rival corner Richard Sherman in the offseason and famously failing to name all of his nine children on an episode of Hard Knocks.
Cromartie did give Beckham credit for producing huge numbers over 16 games, comparing him to Randy Moss.
The Jets will face the Giants on Dec. 6.
