John Mara was with his seven-year-old grandson recently when someone asked the child who his favorite Giants player is. He looked up at his grandpa and asked: “Can I still say Odell?”
Mara said he could.
The shadow of the trade that sent Beckham to the Browns in March is still cast over the organization, right to the very top. And despite his playing in Cleveland these days, as well as having some disparaging things to say about the Giants organization on his way there, for a lot of Giants fans he may still be their favorite player too.
