The New York Giants have had an active offseason, but fans still want to see Odell Beckham Jr.
A video of Beckham scoring a touchdown during his time with the Giants has gone viral on social media.
“All these Giants signings have been great and all, but there’s still one last piece missing…” the user posted.

Eli Manning, who threw the touchdown to Beckham in the clip, had some fun with it.
“Guys, I’m not coming back to play! Stop asking,” Manning posted on X.
Manning retired after the 2019 season, ending a 16-year career with the team. Toward the end of his career, Manning struggled, as the team went 9-26 in his starts over the final three seasons of his career.
Before Manning’s play declined, Beckham was one of his favorite targets. Manning has thrown more touchdowns to Beckham (44) than to any other player in his career.

Beckham was electrifying in New York. In five seasons with the Giants, Beckham played in 59 games, catching 390 passes for 5,476 yards and 44 touchdowns.
He was then incredibly traded to the Cleveland Browns and never found the same form, spending only two and a half seasons with them before releasing him.
The Giants recently brought Beckham in for a workout. He played under coach John Harbaugh with the Baltimore Ravens in 2023. The 33-year-old was productive as a deep receiver, catching 34 passes for 565 yards and three touchdowns.
Harbaugh called Beckham one of his favorite people in the world in March.

“He and I talk. We text,” Harbaugh said. “We had a really good relationship. He’s one of my favorite people in the world. It’s not like you don’t talk to guys about that stuff. And you certainly do.”
“We’ll just have to see where it all goes, what’s best for him, what’s best for the Giants.”
While the Giants have to see where this goes with Beckham, they know for sure that Manning remains retired.
