After four seasons, CeeDee Lamb has not had a single campaign below 900 receiving yards, while Beasley has not been able to reach that number in a single season yet. However, it seems like Cole has something to say about Lamb’s performance.

On X, Cole quoted a post which showed CeeDee Lamb’s working out routine. “Man just do some heavy squats and power cleans,” the All-Pro wide receiver said about the video.

“Give me 180 targets off the couch and I eclipse 1000,” Beasley added when someone judged him for slamming Lamb. “Stop looking at stats and check the tape. As far as getting open goes…I’m confident I did that with the best of them.”

At this point, Lamb decided to step in to defend himself. “I don’t need 180 targets to touch a band,” CeeDee wrote. “Pull up tape, I’d match you route for route on getting open. Just Chill.”

Beasley then tried to calm Lamb by saying he didn’t want to start a feud with him. He explained that his intention was to make fans understand that he would have been a better receiver if he had received more targets.
