On3 has released its latest list of the top 25 wide receivers in the country after the final week of the regular season. Two LSU Tigers made the cut.
Both of the Tigers landed in the top 10 as [autotag]Brian Thomas Jr.[/autotag] comes in at No. 9 on the list and Malik Nabers is at No. 2. Thomas Jr. has played in 12 games this year and has made 60 receptions for 1,079 yards and 15 touchdowns. He and Nabers have created one of the best wide receiver tandems in LSU history.
Nabers has played in 12 games and made 86 receptions for 1,546 yards and 14 touchdowns. Nabers came in one spot behind Marvin Harrison Jr on the list. I understand Harrison Jr is a really good wide receiver but he hasn’t put up the kind of numbers that Nabers has put up and Nabers has played way better opponents.
Nabers has already stated that he will be playing in the bowl game, no matter who LSU is playing.
