Odell Beckham Jr Channels LeBron James Before 2026 Season
Odell Beckham Jr. is returning to the NFL field for the 2026 season, signing a one-year contract with the New York Giants.
Odell Beckham Jr. is set to return to the NFL following a one-year break in 2025, signing a one-year contract with the New York Giants. The 34-year-old cornerback admits he's no longer the explosive player he once was, but remains confident in his abilities heading into his 11th NFL season. Beckham, who won the 2014 Offensive Rookie of the Year award, draws a comparison to NBA legend LeBron James, who enters his historic 24th NBA campaign at age 41.
Beckham says, "I'm just trying to be present each and every day, and prove to myself that I am who I know I am." Despite struggling with just nine catches and zero touchdowns in nine games for the Miami Dolphins in 2024, Beckham believes he can still play at a high level. The Giants' 2026 regular season opener against the Dallas Cowboys is scheduled for September 13.
