Odell Beckham Jr makes emotional statement over New York Giants departure where NFL career started

He simulated urinating in the end zone against the Philadelphia Eagles, had a meltdown about a kicking net on the sideline, and made many rivalries.

The Giants decided to trade Beckham to the Cleveland Brown before the 2019 season.

He went on to win a Super Bowl with the LA Rams and spent his last few seasons in Baltimore with the Ravens and the Miami Dolphins.

The wide receiver made an appearance on CBS Sports’ coverage of the UEFA Champions League final on Saturday.

Whilst talking to the presenters he made it clear he never wanted to leave New York:

"I never, ever wanted to leave the New York Giants," he said.

"The reason you heard me talking about what was going on was because I was p****d because, where I come from in college, if we lost one game, our season was over.

"This was the organization I got drafted to. They believed in me. So if the Giants went and won a Super Bowl, I would be happy.

“But deep down inside, I wanted to be the one. No question. So it's definitely you'll always hold that.

"But then someone like me, I went to the LA Rams, won a Super Bowl. But still, you just want that."

Beckham had 390 catches for 5,476 yards and 44 touchdowns in his five seasons with the Giants.

He was voted as a Pro Bowler in three of those five years and was the Offensive Rookie Of the Year in 2014 despite only playing 12 of their 17 regular season games.

Jerry Rice had 346 catches for 6,364 yards and 66 touchdowns in his first five seasons with the San Francisco 49ers.

The New York Giants holds a special place in Beckham’s heart amid what may be his retirement from the NFL.

He has not released any news about where he will be playing this year after he was released by the Miami Dolphins, his focus seems to have shifted to fatherhood but he has not called time on his playing career officially just yet.
