Odell Beckham Jr. expressed strong enthusiasm about the possibility of returning to the New York Giants<\/a> to play alongside quarterback Jaxson Dart.<\/p>\n

Speaking to analyst Kay Adams during the Fanatics Flag Football Classic on Saturday, Beckham responded positively when the idea was raised.<\/p>\n

“Weird you said that; that sounds great,” Beckham said. “If that opportunity presents itself, I would love to do that. Be excited about that. He\u2019s a good dude. He’s young, and he likes to dance. I like all that. So he looks like he likes to have fun. If I get that opportunity\u2026”<\/p>\n

The event marked a notable showcase for Beckham, who made a one-handed catch and described it as “hopefully” the starting point for his NFL comeback. He has not played in a regular-season game since 2024 with the Miami Dolphins and sat out 2025, but at age 33, he remains eager to return.<\/p>\n

Beckham spent his first five NFL seasons with the Giants after being drafted 12th overall in 2014, earning multiple Pro Bowl nods with three consecutive 1,000-yard campaigns before a 2019 trade. He has repeatedly hinted at a desire to rejoin the organization in recent years.<\/p>\n
