In a recent appearance during CBS Sports’ coverage of the UEFA Champions League final, Odell Beckham Jr. expressed his sincere feelings about his departure from the New York Giants, asserting that he never wished to leave the franchise that drafted him. Beckham, who played with the Giants for five seasons, became known for his remarkable talent and unforgettable moments, including an iconic one-handed catch against the Dallas Cowboys. His tenure with the team was characterized by significant achievements, such as being a Pro Bowler three times and receiving the Offensive Rookie of the Year award in 2014. Despite his successes, Beckham's career with the Giants was also marred by controversies and injuries that culminated in a trade to the Cleveland Browns before the 2019 season.
