New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. penned a letter to Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson on Thursday, after the rookie standout tore his ACL in practice.
Beckham's own season came to a halt when he fractured his ankle during a Week 5 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Watson, who was in the thick of the MVP race prior to his injury, is expected to miss the rest of the season.
Here's what Beckham wrote to Watson, via ESPN's Adam Schefter:
Lil bruh I know at this time things may be scary. Your first year in the league; running for MVP; trying to win a championship; trying to get the spot you deserve, to defy the odds, to do the things they said you can't, and it all gets taken away.
Look back in life to when you faced adversity and thought you would not overcome it, and then you did. As life went on, more and more obstacles came your way that you had to again overcome time and time again but you got through it somehow. Now life throws you bigger problems and again you're faced with a test.
Everything is a blessing in disguise. Truly believe that this all happens for a reason. Take this time to evaluate and appreciate everything you've been blessed with. Life's still good, kid. WE LIVINN! And we will be back better than ever. I'll see you this offseason lil b.
It's a touching gesture from one of the league's biggest stars to another ascending talent.
