The 33-year-old Beckham played his first 5 professional seasons in New York. The Giants selected the former LSU wide receiver No. 12 overall in the 2014 NFL Draft.
Many of Beckham’s top accomplishments came during his time as a Giant. He was named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year for 2014, the first of 3 Pro Bowl selections. He also made second-team All-Pro in 2015 and ’16 after making the PFWA’s All-Rookie Team for 2014.
Beckham had 3 seasons of 1,000 yards or more receiving to begin his pro career. In 2015, he posted his career highs in receiving yards (1,450) and receiving touchdowns (13). He followed that up with a career-high 101 receptions in 2016.
The Cleveland Browns acquired Beckham ahead of the 2019 season. Beckham’s first season with the Browns was the last time he posted 1,000 receiving yards.
From 2020-24, Beckham played in 44 games, starting 26. That stretch of playing for the Browns, Los Angeles Rams, Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins included a Super Bowl ring with the Rams and a season of playing for John Harbaugh.
Harbaugh, the former Ravens coach, is entering his first season with the Giants.
