When the New York Giants drafted [autotag]Malik Nabers[/autotag] with the sixth overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, they did so to help fix a receiving corps that was desperate for talent.
They also hoped that such an addition would help veteran Daniel Jones, who they previously extended but faces what could be a decisive season for his career in New York.
While Jones’ involvement in mandatory minicamp this week was limited as he recovers from a torn ACL, he’s been in the mix enough to be very impressed with Nabers’ play so far.
“I think he can be a tremendous weapon for us,” Jones said per the New York Post’s Steve Serby. “He can do everything, there’s not much he can’t do really from a route-running standpoint. He’s dynamic either way the ball in his hands, and strong, fast, explosive, catches the ball well. Yeah, he does a lot well.”
Nabers finished his LSU career as the program’s all-time leading receiver, and he enters his rookie season expected to make an immediate impact on a struggling New York offense.
