Former New York Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. nearly retired after 2017 ankle injury

The Odell Beckham Jr. era in the history of New York Giants football was nothing short of a rollercoaster. From slant routes that would turn into long touchdowns the second the ball touched his hands to the Josh Norman situation along with the kicking net fiasco, there was always a story involving the star wide receiver.

But recently, we earned a scoop on what was really going on inside Beckham’s head during his tenure in New York. In a sit-down with Patriots quarterback Cam Newton, Falcons running back Todd Gurley, and Giants legend Victor Cruz, Beckham noted that he weighed retirement after his 2017 season-ending ankle fracture.
