Beckham\u2019s football journey has been unique for a number of reasons. He was a high draft pick who arrived with great expectations, but one one-handed catch<\/a> turned him into an international superstar overnight. With the fame came relentless attention, and with that came a trade to the Browns, his first ACL injury of his career, a move further west to a Super Bowl winner in the Rams, another ACL injury and a few years spent largely out of the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Some thought football was finished with Beckham. The Giants decided otherwise, giving Beckham a chance<\/a> to close his career in the same place it began.<\/p>\n

Beckham had to earn it, of course, joining the Giants as part of a collection of veteran receivers assembled to compete for limited roster spots. In the end, Beckham proved he still had what\u2019s needed to justify a place on an NFL team.<\/p>\n

“It was a different feeling,\u201d he said of learning he\u2019d made the 53-man roster. \u201cSomething that I was prepared for but you never know how it feels until you’re dealing with it. So, just truly proud of myself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever the outcome was, I came and I gave my best effort, and I earned the right to be here. This wasn’t given to me. I was given the opportunity, but I wasn’t given making it here where I’m at. I’m truly happy about it, but like I said, not satisfied until I find ways to continue to get better and bring my best.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, Beckham must seize the opportunity he\u2019s earned — and he might add a little spice to it by switching back to the same No. 13 he made famous in New York a decade ago.<\/p>\n

“I think we all know what that means to me,\u201d Beckham said of wearing No. 13. \u201cIt definitely will be some conversations. I’ll just say we’ll see what happens. But like I said, it would be an honor and privilege to put that back on.”<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s No. 3 or 13, Beckham is just happy to be healthy and back on an NFL roster. We\u2019ll see how far he can take it in the Big Apple.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Beckham\u2019s football journey has been unique for a number of reasons.
