Odell Beckham Jr. accused New York Jets defensive coordinator Gregg Williams of teaching "cheap shots" and "dirty hits," and he said that led to an ankle injury that almost derailed his career two years ago.
"If I was a coach, I would never teach what he teaches," said the star wide receiver, whose Cleveland Browns face the Jets next on Monday Night Football. "But that's just him and what he does."

Beckham said that according to his Cleveland defensive teammates, Williams, who eventually became Cleveland's interim head coach last year before taking a job with the Jets, actually told the Browns players to try to hurt Beckham during that 2017 preseason game.
"I had people who were here when he was here telling [them], 'If you get a chance, take a shot at him. If you can, hurt him. I guarantee he's going to leave the game hurt,' and stuff like that," Beckham said. "We're all men out here. There's no need for doing any of that kind of stuff. Make the plays the best you can clean."
The NFL suspended Williams for one season for his role in the infamous "Bountygate" scandal in which the Saints were found to have operated a bounty system whereby players were paid bonuses for hard hits and deliberately injuring players.
