It’s been over a year since Odell Beckham Jr. looked into the camera and dropped a truth bomb that left Giants fans heartbroken. It was quiet for a while until that same clip resurfaced this week and started making rounds again.
In it, OBJ admits, on live TV, that he’d gladly trade his Super Bowl ring just to win one with the New York Giants. And yes, the internet is crying all over again.
Odell Beckham Jr. quote about the Giants resurfaces and it’s still breaking hearts
Beckham’s moment of truth came during a live CBS Sports broadcast, where he was reflecting on his career. The question was simple, ‘would you rather keep the rings you got with the Rams or go back and win with the Giants?”His answer? “I never wanted to leave” OBJ made it clear that despite all he’s accomplished, Pro Bowls, viral highlights, and a Super Bowl win, there’s still one thing missing from his career: finishing what he started in blue.“I’d give up that ring to go back and win one there.”Not a lot of guys say that out loud, especially not after hoisting a Lombardi Trophy. But that’s just how deep his love for the Giants runs.
Odell Beckham Jr. left behind unfinished business in New York
Beckham wasn’t just a player in New York, he was the guy. Drafted by the Giants in 2014, he quickly became one of the most electrifying wide receivers in the league:
- 3× Pro Bowler
- Over 5,400 receiving yards in just five seasons
- One-handed catch of the century (yep, that one)
The Giants rewarded him with a five-year, $90 million extension in 2018 only to shock everyone by trading him to the Browns less than a year later.
Fans were stunned. Beckham was crushed. The dream of winning a title in blue just evaporated.
Fans react to OBJ’s emotional quote like it just happened yesterday
The internet has been flooded with reactions since the clip re-surfaced. Giants fans are deep in their feels again:
Even non-Giants fans agree, OBJ has never stopped showing love to New York, even after leaving. From interviews to social posts, he’s always made it clear: he didn’t walk away. He was shipped out.OBJ did get that ring, he won Super Bowl LVI with the Los Angeles Rams in 2022, even scoring a touchdown before going down with an ACL injury. He earned it. But when someone says they’d give that up just to win one with their original team? That hits different.Also read - Watch: Bengals’ Ja’Marr Chase harassed on flight for saying no to autograph request
