Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry is hosting a celebrity softball game on Saturday, June 12 at Classic Park in Eastland, Ohio.
Landry’s star-studded event was cancelled last year due to the pandemic so he is working extra hard to get the celebrities to come out for the event this year.
His most recent confirmed guest is teammate and friend Odell Beckham Jr.

OBJ has not been in the public eye much since suffering the ACL injury last October.
We are briefly treated to sneak peeks of his rehab and workout regimens which show that he is recovering very well.
Who Else Is Attending
In addition to OBJ, rookie Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields will be in attendance.
His Ohio State teammate and Washington Football Team’s rookie defensive end Chase Young will also play.
