Palladino: Giants Need More Than ‘Madden’ Cover Boy Beckham For Success

It’s a touch premature to tab the Giants as Super Bowl contenders. But thanks to EA Sports, they now have the face to represent such lofty goals.

Odell Beckham Jr., an icon at a young and tender football age, has become the cover boy for the “Madden NFL 16,” which will hit the gaming stores this summer. His body, stretched into the form that brought us all the then-rookie’s three-fingered catch against Dallas, will now be known throughout the country and the world as the ideal of gridiron success.

Now, all the Giants have to do is translate it to the field, have a playoff-worthy season, and bring home a fifth Lombardi Trophy for the Quest Diagnostics Training Center lobby showcase.
