Giants' Q & A

Related Topics: Odell Beckham Jr., Brad Wing

Is Odell Beckham Jr. the new punt returner?

It’s certainly very tempting for the Giants to go in that direction, especially after Sunday’s performance in which he had a 59-yarder that was negated by a penalty but still managed to average 11.7 yards on three returns (the Giants came into the game averaging 6.7 yards as a team).

“I like when he has an opportunity to get his hands on the ball,” Ben McAdoo said. “He’s sure-handed back there and he’s electric with the ball in his hands.”

When pushed on whether Beckham would continue to play in that role, though, McAdoo hedged.
