What's next for the Malik Nabers?

Malik Nabers broke numerous records with the LSU Tigers between 2021 and 2023, and he was viewed as one of the best players in the 2024 NFL draft class. It didn't take long for Nabers to hear his name called as the New York Giants selected him with the sixth pick.

The selection turned out to be a masterstroke as Nabers ended up being one of the few positives in a deeply disappointing 2024 campaign for the Giants. Nabers thrived as a rookie, and he earned Pro Bowl honors for his efforts with a revolving door at the quarterback position. The LSU Tigers product now figures to be a key part of the New York Giants' present and future.

Nabers has translated his collegiate football productivity to the professional level with relative ease. He's now looking to avoid the dreaded sophomore slump in the upcoming campaign. Next up for Nabers is training camp, followed by the preseason, and then the start of his second season in the big league.
