Is he gonna have an impact this year for the Giants in your mind, Caroline?
No, probably not.
I don't, I don't expect that.
It is a warm fuzzy to see Odell Beckham Jr. Back in a Giants uniform.
Obviously, a fan favorite when he started his career there.
But look, Odell Beckham Jr. Is 33 years old.
He's going to be 34 in the middle of the season.
OBJ hasn't had more than 1,000 yards since 2019, and hasn't even really gotten anywhere close to that 1,000-yard point e- e- ever since.
He tore his ACL at 30.
Like, all of these things just stacking up to where I, I don't see Odell Beckham Jr.
Being a huge difference maker for this team.
But even bigger than that, did you see his, his locker room scrum yesterday or a couple of days ago?
Who is that?
Like, who is that, and what have you done with Odell Beckham Jr.?
That is not OBJ.
That is Yeah, he's, he's He looks very, he looks very young, very sprite, very, He, he looks good.
Looks good.
But yeah.
Yeah.
Somebody has gone under the knife several times.
It's- Maybe a few injectables.
And look, hey, I don't yuck anybody's yum.
Do your thing.
But, like, that looks like a different person.
Yeah.
I, I have, I have many friends that have gone, the route of Botox.
It's never It's not something I've- Do it tried in life, but I have many friends that do and they love it.
But it's always jarring the first time- That's more than Botox they walk into the room.
Yeah.
That, that's, that's, that's, that- That's not just Botox.
That, that is That's When I first saw the picture of him, I was like, "Who is that?"
And then everybody said it was Odell Beckham Jr. To your point, on the football field, I will say, if you add up his last three seasons receiving, he's equaled 925 yards.
So if you add up the last three years with the Ravens, with the Rams, and with the Dolphins, we've gotten to a total of 925 yards.
So, when we're asked what kind of impact he's gonna make, I, I have a hard time seeing this as a massive impact on the field, but where I do think he can make an impact is in the locker room, in the wide receiver room, just being an adult on the sideline.
I think that right now the Giants need adults.
