Selected 12th overall in the 2014 NFL Draft, the former LSU Tiger spent his first five years with the team.[/p][p]However, his comeback was far from meaningful as he failed to record a single catch in the first three games of the season with just one target.[/p][p]Beckham's best performances in the league came with New York as he reached the Pro Bowl in each of his first three years. During his first stint at MetLife Stadium, he played 60 times across the five seasons, scoring 44 touchdowns.
