INDIANAPOLIS — LSU wide receiver Justin Jefferson put the cash that Odell Beckham Jr. gave him after the national championship victory over Clemson to good use.

He donated it to his church, he revealed Tuesday during his podium interview at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Jefferson, one of the top wide receiver prospects in the draft, knew there was a lot at stake and didn’t want any compliance issues. What’s more, his conscience got the best of him.

“We had some doubts about it,’’ Jefferson said “We know we shouldn’t have done it.’’

LSU quarterback Joe Burrow also received cash from Beckham, but didn’t wrestle with it because he was going pro.

"I'm not a student-athlete anymore," Burrow said shortly thereafter on the Pardon My Take podcast. "So I can say yeah."

Beckham also gave some to junior receiver Jontre Kirklin, and LSU soon launched an investigation into whether or not he violated NCAA rules.

Beckham continued the celebration in the locker room where he slapped the butt of a Superdome police officer, but the subsequent warrant out for his arrest was rescinded.
