Odell Beckham Jr Completes Giants Comeback With Jersey Number Selection
Odell Beckham Jr. made an important jersey number selection following the announcement that he made the Giants' 53-man roster.
Odell Beckham Jr. solidified his return to the New York Giants by being named to the team's initial 53-man roster on Sunday. The wide receiver, who was drafted by the Giants in 2014 with the 12th overall pick, previously wore jersey number 13 during his time with the Cleveland Browns. Since then, Beckham has worn numbers 3, 81, and none at all with different teams.
On Tuesday, it was confirmed that Beckham would return to donning the number 13 jersey with the Giants. The 2014 draft pick expressed his excitement and hinted at potential conversations surrounding the decision. Currently wearing No. 81 on the Giants' practice squad, Jalin Hyatt, who previously wore No. 13, will now wear the number 81 on the team's practice squad.
Head coach John Harbaugh praised Beckham for his perseverance and acknowledged the rarity of such a comeback.
