VIDEO: Odell Beckham Jr. Handing Wads of Cash to LSU Players After Victory is Wild
By Will Coleman
There was a lot going down on the field Monday night at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome following LSU's 42-25 win over Clemson in the National Championship. Some players and coaches were overcome with emotion, others were shaking hands with their opponents. And some were...getting paid.

Cleveland Browns receiver Odell Beckham Jr. drew a lot of attention walking around after the game in a hoodie and generously handing out money to players from his alma mater. While it looks like he was being altruistic, it seems the star wideout has an ulterior motive.

He's collecting memorabilia and selling it!
Looks like Odell bought their game jerseys. This guy's no dummy. Great investment pic.twitter.com/VtaFw5FLYE

This seems like a win-win. Justin Jefferson and JaMarr Chase get a few Benjamins after the win and OBJ cashes out in a bidding war or adds to his memorabilia collection.
