Giants chose Beckham out of LSU with No. 12 selection of 2014 draft. He quickly had a huge impact on the field – and at one point he was compared to Jerry Rice with some of the numbers he set up.
He had 390 catches in 5,476 yards and 44 touchdowns in 56 games with Giants. However, Beckham’s Antics on the field did not seem to please Giant’s ownership. He was traded for Cleveland Browns before the 2019 season and jumped around the league from there.
He helped Los Angeles Rams to a Super Bowl in 2021, but an injury to the game had him on repair throughout the 2022 season. He played for Baltimore Ravens in 2023 and Miami Dolphins in 2024.
