[autotag]Daniel Jones[/autotag] has a new target in the Big Apple. In the first round of the NFL Draft, the New York Giants drafted former LSU wide receiver [autotag]Malik Nabers[/autotag].
Nabers was a star at LSU and last season he finished with 89 receptions for 1,569 yards and 14 touchdowns. He was snubbed of the Biletnikoff Award but he did help [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag] win the Heisman Trophy.
Jones has been the starting quarterback for the Giants since 2019 and recently signed a new contract for four years and $160 million. One thing Jones has lacked during his tenure in New York is a star wide receiver. The star player for the Giants each year was their star running back Saquon Barkley, who has now moved on to Philadelphia.
Jones has played in 60 games for the Giants and has thrown for 12,512 yards 62 touchdowns, and 40 interceptions while having a 64.3% completion rate. Here is what he had to say about his new wideout.
