New York Giants fans, get the Odell Beckham Jr. jersey out of the closet.
Beckham will wear No. 13, which he wore in his first stint with the franchise from 2014-18, for the Giants this season, the team announced on Tuesday afternoon.
The 33-year-old wide receiver wore No. 3 over the summer, but he had to pick a different number for the regular season, as second-year linebacker Abdul Carter, whom New York selected with the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft out of Penn State, changed his number to No. 3 prior to Beckham signing a one-year deal with the Giants in June. For Beckham to wear No. 13, fourth-year receiver Jalin Hyatt had to give up the number, which he had worn his entire NFL career (2023-25).
Beckham was one of just five wide receivers to make New York’s initial 53-man roster. Appearing in each of the Giants’ three preseason games, Beckham logged seven receptions for 76 yards.
While he played just five seasons with the Giants, who drafted the wide receiver with the No. 12 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft out of LSU, the first time around, Beckham is second in franchise history with 5,476 receiving yards and fourth with both 390 receptions and 44 receiving touchdowns over 59 regular-season games. Beckham was a Pro Bowler in each of his first three seasons with the team, averaging 96 receptions for 1,374 yards and 11.7 touchdowns per year from 2014-16.
Making the Giants’ roster is a double reunion for Beckham, who played for new head coach John Harbaugh on the Baltimore Ravens in 2023.
The Giants open the 2026 regular season at home against the Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 13.
