The Facts: Beckham says now that he's had an offseason to address his health, he's going to come back better than he's been in years. "Right now, what I'm trying to do is hit the reset button," Beckham said in a video posted to his YouTube channel. "Being able to get everything fixed -- shoulder, arms, back -- everything aligned, functional, moving properly so I can begin training to get ready for the season. I would honestly say this is going to be one of my best seasons. Bigger, stronger, faster. It's just my time."
Diehards Line:As NFL.com notes, it can be a common refrain heard from professional athletes who are in their prime and are coming off a disappointing year. Beckham's first campaign spent in Cleveland qualified as such, with the receiver gutting out all 16 games to just barely get over the 1,000-yard receiving mark to go along with four touchdowns. Instead of highlight-reel grabs catching the eyes of football fans, it was Beckham's (and Jarvis Landry's) heated sideline interactions with his rookie coach that dominated television screens. Beckham had a right to be frustrated. After being shipped out by a team that famously and rhetorically asked why it would sign him long-term if it wanted to trade him, the receiver had to acclimate to a new team in a brief offseason. He also had to constantly fight through core muscle injuries that robbed him of some of the explosiveness that makes him such a special player. "Pretty much, I was just f---ed up the whole year," Beckham explained. "I really didn't try and say anything about it. Probably one of the worst surgeries I've ever had. Recovery's going well. Guess I'm really just trying to put my body back together. I've been playing for 23 years, so for me, I'm trying to put it all back together in seven months. ..." Landry told NFL.com something similar back in January during Pro Bowl week, which was even before the receiver ended up electing to undergo surgery to fix his hip injury. With an entire offseason to heal and reassemble their bodies, and a quieter, more focused coaching staff now in place, the dangerous duo figures to have big goals on their minds.
