The Facts: When Beckham skipped voluntary Organized Team Activities, HC Freddie Kitchens didn’t seem thrilled about it, saying that Beckham missed learning the offense. Beckham doesn’t think he’s too far behind. Beckham said today at the Browns’ mandatory minicamp that he can learn a playbook in less than three months. “I’ve always been a pretty smart guy as far as when it comes to the playbook.
