“It feels good. It’s football. It’s definitely been a minute, but it feels good. It’s fun. I’ve been needing it. I’ve been missing it. I’m happy to be here,” he said.<\/p>\n

Beckham made it clear that his goals have not changed since his first stint with the Giants. He said the main reason he returned to New York was to play well and win a Super Bowl\u2014the same ambition he held when the Giants originally drafted him and he saw the team\u2019s championship banners.<\/p>\n

“Play well, win a Super Bowl. That’s the best case. That’s what you want to do,” he said. “I used to be in here looking at these banners. All I ever wanted to do for this place was win. Everybody knows, you can write it up however you want, I never wanted to leave here. I just came from a school where if we lost on Saturday, season was over. I hate losing. I hate it, I hate it. All I ever wanted to do was win. That’s all I want to do now.”<\/p>\n

Beckham will not be the same go-to target he was during his previous time in a Giants uniform, but the receiver could quickly prove to be a reliable option in 2026.<\/p>\n

Beckham and the Giants appear aligned in their pursuit of a championship this season, and the veteran looks ready to compete in his first year back with the organization.<\/p>\n
