With the way he's looked thus far in his NY Giants career, it's safe to say that Malik Nabers is impressing so many people out there. The list includes former Big Blue playmakers. Not long ago, running back Saquon Barkley ignored his haters and showed Nabers a ton of love on Twitter. Now, Odell Beckham Jr. is the latest stud to praise the No. 6 overall pick.

Beckham has been dealing with an injury and he's currently on the PUP list. The Dolphins sure are missing him being available to catch balls for the offense. While Beckham waits to get back to 100 percent health, he's passing the time sitting back and enjoying Nabers make NFL history with how he's looked through his first three professional games:

The fact that Nabers tells OBJ he hasn't seen anything yet should put a ton of fear into opposing defensive backs. Nabers has been unreal over the past two weeks. In the loss to Washington, he posted 10 receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown.

Then in the upset win over the Browns, he finished with eight receptions for 78 yards and two touchdowns. His first TD was an acrobatic grab, which reminded a ton of people of Beckham from when he was suiting up for NY.

Beckham will go down as one of the best wideouts in team history, while Nabers, also an LSU product, is hoping to match his success with the squad. Thus far, Nabers has been as good as advertised, which is of course amazing news for Brian Daboll and Daniel Jones.

For Thursday Night Football, Nabers is going to have his first taste of going to battle against the hated Dallas Cowboys. In the offseason, he talked plenty of smack with Trevon Diggs and now the two will be matched up against one another in primetime. Nabers will be ready to put on a show. If he does, Beckham won't be surprised one bit. If anything, he might be ready to hype him up even more.
