Odell Beckham Jr. is back with the New York Giants, and fans and teammates alike are embracing him after his return eight years after leaving on a sour note. At training camp at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, Beckham was the most popular player, drawing loud ovations from fans. His presence and personality have been missed by a fanbase that has seen only one winning season in seven years.

Veteran receiver Darius Slayton described Beckham as a mythical figure he never got to see play, while young teammates like Malik Nabers and Tyrone Tracy Jr. grew up idolizing Beckham's highlights and are now thrilled to play alongside him. Beckham, 33, earned his way onto the 53-man roster after a strong summer following a year out of the league. The most popular Giant of the last decade is back, with his reputation and presence hovering over the team as they hope for a return to form.
