Odell Beckham Jr., one of the most electric players ever to wear a Giants uniform, is back with the team that drafted him 12 years ago.
The three-time Pro Bowler signed his contract on Monday after he worked out for team officials earlier in the day. The team also added veteran Braxton Berrios to the wide receiver room.
In corresponding moves, the Giants placed wide receiver Gunner Olszewski on injured reserve and released long snapper Zach Triner.
In celebration of the Giants' 100th season, an independent committee ranked Beckham No. 37 on the franchise's all-time top 100 players list.
Beckham, the 12th overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, exploded onto the scene with one of the best rookie seasons in NFL history. He was voted the Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year, the first Giants player to be so honored in the history of the award. He was the franchise's first Rookie of the Year since Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor won the defensive award in 1981.
Beckham did it despite missing time in training camp, the entire preseason, and the first four regular-season games with a hamstring injury. But he more than made up for his lost time in the final three months.
In 12 games, Beckham caught 91 passes for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns, all franchise rookie records at the time. Beckham also set NFL records for most catches and yards in the first 12 games to start a career.
In addition, Beckham provided one of the most spectacular moments in NFL history with his now-famous leaping, one-handed touchdown catch against Dallas on Sunday Night Football on November 23, 2014, which made him a national sensation.
Of the five best seasons in Giants history in terms of receiving yards, Beckham holds three of them:
Victor Cruz (2011): 1,536
Odell Beckham Jr. (2015): 1,450
Odell Beckham Jr. (2016): 1,367
Amani Toomer (2002): 1,343
Odell Beckham Jr. (2014): 1,305
