Over the past week, Odell Beckham Jr. has had the football world buzzing about a possible return to the New York Giants. As he continues to pander to the fan base, one key member of the team sent a message to the former star wideout.
This whole ordeal began in New York last weekend when Beckham was in attendance for Fanatics "Fanatic Fest." While on an interview panel, a fan in the crowd shouted to OBJ and begged him to return to the Giants this season. He proceeded to give the crowd what they wanted, responding with "I got you."
Earlier this week, Beckham would continue to create intrigue about his suiting up for New York once again. He posted a series of photos on Instagram of him and his son Zydn outside of Metlife Stadium. In the caption, Beckham reminisced on his time in the famous venue while opening up on the joy fatherhood has brought him.

As expected, Beckham being outside the Giants' stadium only added fuel to the fire regarding the chatter of a potential reunion. Among the most notable names to pop up in the comment section was standout wide receiver Malik Nabers. He too got in on the recruiting efforts, stating to Beckham that the job isn't finished yet.
"We still got work to do," Nabers commented along with the smirking emoji.
Long after Beckham's days in New York, Nabers has emerged as the latest touted receiver for the Giants. He put together an impressive rookie campaign after being drafted No. 6 overall, racking up 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns. Nabers also passed OBJ in the Giants' history books, setting a new rookie single-season reception record with 109.

Beckham, 32, still finds himself on the free-agent market a few weeks out from training camp. He spent last season with the Miami Dolphins, where he totaled just 55 yards across nine appearances.
Years removed from his messy exit with the Giants, only time will tell if Beckham returns to New York in hopes of finishing out his career where it all began.
