Lamar Jackson and Odell Beckham Jr. Had NFL Fans Laughing With Comical ‘SNF’ Intros

NFL players have gotten pretty creative this season when it comes to introducing themselves ahead of primetime games.

While normal protocol is simply to state your name and your alma mater, several players have decided to use their camera time to show a bit of personality or get off a comical boast.

Rather than name his school, Giants lineman Justin Pugh said he was "straight off the couch" after he got signed to the team mid-season and rushed into a starting role with the team.

Jets cornerback D.J. Reed boasted that he was representing "HIM University" in his introduction, all while the graphic below his name showed him rated as the top corner in the NFL.

This Sunday, it was the Ravens' turn to have a bit of fun ahead of their game against the Chargers, and quarterback Lamar Jackson and wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. stole the show.

After stating his name, Jackson offered a call to action, saying "Ball 'til you fall."

Beckham introduced himself as hailing from "Himothy Univeristy."

Fans on social media loved the bold intros.
