Odell Beckham Jr. will be suiting up for the New York Giants this season.
Beckham made the Giants’ 53-man roster, and the veteran WR admitted he was in tears after the news came. Now, the team announced some big news, posting a video saying that Beckham will get back to his original jersey number, 13.
“OBJ back in 13,” the caption read with highlights of Beckham wearing the jersey.

Jalin Hyatt, who was a third-round pick by the Giants in 2023, held the No. 13 jersey until now.
After Beckham made the team, he said, “We’ll see what happens,” regarding convincing Hyatt to let him wear No. 13 again. However, Hyatt was cut by the team, which then made the switch easy for Beckham.

Odell Beckham Jr. wore No. 3 at LSU, and he then held the No. 13 jersey number after being selected by the Giants at No. 12 overall in 2014. When Beckham signed with the Los Angeles Rams, he wore No. 3 and has continued wearing that number until now.
So, there is all sorts of nostalgia for Beckham and the Giants entering the 2026 season.
