The old Odell Beckham Jr. can’t come to the phone right now.
Perhaps the only one more hyped than New York Giants fans about the return of the superstar receiver to field is Jalen Ramsey, who will line up across from Beckham when the former’s Jacksonville Jaguars open the 2018 NFL season against Beckham and his comrades in blue. Ramsey has expressed his anticipation for the showdown on several occasions throughout the offseason, making the Giants-Jaguars tilt one of the most anticipated matchups on the Week 1 calendar.
Known for his fiery head-to-heads with opposing cornerbacks, Beckham insisted on Wednesday that his days of sparring with those on the other side, be it verbally or physically, are over.
