Former Browns star wide receiver eyeing final comeback

The New York Giants are certainly making waves to start NFL Draft week.

First, they agreed on a major blockbuster trade with the Cincinnati Bengals for Dexter Lawrence, and second, they have former Giant and Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. back in their building for a workout and a physical to see if he can come back and play a final season in New York.

Beckham made a name for himself in New York thanks to one of the greatest catches of all time. It was Sunday Night Football, and Eli Manning floated a ball down the right sideline to a streaking OBJ, who was interfered with while still catching the football with basically three fingers to haul in a touchdown.

That was the start of the legend of OBJ. What ensued after that was elite wide receiver play. Beckham Jr. has three All-Pro nominations to his name and three Pro-Bowls as well. Four of his five seasons in New York were over 1,000 yards, and in one of his 2.5 years in Cleveland, he registered over 1,000 yards.

Beckham's time in New York came to an abrupt end when he stopped seeing eye to eye with ownership and the front office. Browns general manager at the time, John Dorsey, saw the opportunity and seized it. It was a win-win for both sides. Cleveland believed that they were pushing the chips in the middle for Baker Mayfield to go make a run at the Super Bowl, and the Giants believed they were sending Beckham Jr. to Cleveland to kill his career.

As it turned out, the Giants were closer to right than the Browns were. From day one, it was very clearly a forced marriage between OBJ and the . It was never smooth, and the breakup at the end was a bad one.
