After reports surfaced that free agent receiver Odell Beckham Jr. had been taken from a flight in Miami Florida due to “falling in and out of consciousness” and refusing to exit the plane when requested Beckham Jr.’s counsel is now attempting to set the record straight.
The player’s agent Daniel Davilier issued a statement calling the incident “unnecessary” and blaming it on an “overzealous” flight attendant.

Mr. Beckham fell asleep with his blanket over his head, which is his normal practice for long flights. He was awaken and told that the plane was back at the gate and that he needed to get off the plane because he did not put his seatbelt on when asked. He responded that he was asleep, and that he would put his seatbelt on at that time. He was informed that it was too late, and that either he would have to get off the plane or everyone would have to deplane.
At no time was Mr. Beckham disruptive or combative. He was willing to comply with the seatbelt requirement, but the flight attendant wanted to prove that he had the authority to have Mr. Beckham removed from the flight.
