Giants

Odell Beckham Jr. is officially back in Giants blue and has reclaimed his iconic No. 13 jersey. Jalin Hyatt, who wore the number since 2023, relinquished it. Beckham, aiming to "rewrite history," enters his second stint with the team after missing the entire 2025 season. Rookie receiver Malachi Fields will wear No. 88, a number historically linked to Hakeem Nicks. As the 2026 season approaches, quarterback Jaxson Dart is "continuing to grow as a player" heading into his sophomore campaign. The team also added four players to its practice squad: wide receiver/kick returner Charlie Jones, cornerback Elijah Jones, and offensive linemen Kingsley Eguakun and Darian Kinnard. Charlie Jones, a former Bengals fourth-rounder, brings significant experience in the return game, joining Braxton Berrios as a primary option there. Elijah Jones, a Cardinals third-round pick, spent his rookie year on injured reserve but saw limited action last season. Eguakun, previously on the Lions and Browns practice squads, adds depth at center, while Kinnard, a former Chiefs fifth-round pick, provides tackle experience with the Packers. Meanwhile, the Giants are still assessing the Week 1 availability of rookie receiver Malik Nabers, who shared an "honest assessment" of his progress. The team's draft performance has been a significant talking point, with a deep dive into weighted Approximate Value (wAV) suggesting a mixed bag under recent regimes. While the 2021 draft class is highlighted as a major setback with no active players, the 2022 and 2024 classes under Joe Schoen show promising upward trends. The 2024 draft, in particular, is noted for its high wAV per pick per year, with every selection playing a significant role. The jury is still out on the 2025 and 2026 classes, with players like Abdul Carter and Arvell Reese showing potential but also areas for development. Jaxson Dart remains a "Rorschach test," with differing opinions on his potential as the team navigates a new offensive scheme. Fans are currently weighing in on which position group concerns them the most. With Malik Nabers' Week 1 status uncertain, wide receiver is a notable concern, alongside offensive line depth and the defensive line. The linebacker corps has seen a significant overhaul and is considered a strength, as is the secondary. Special teams also appear solid with Dominic Zvada and Jordan Stout.
