Watch Giants target Mailk Nabers fly running his 40-yard dash at his LSU Pro Day
Okay, this kid is a speedster. In recent weeks, we've seen LSU wideout Malik Nabers raise his stock enough that some analysts think he might be the top wideout for the 2024 draft class - yes, above Ohio State's Marvin Harrison Jr.
With LSU's Pro Day here, people across the globe were waiting to see what would happen with quarterback Jayden Daniels, but they also wanted to see what Nabers, an NY Giants target, would record with his 40-yard dash. Per the reporters on the scene at LSU, Nabers posted a 4.35 and 4.40 on his two attempts. Watch the clip below and try not to be impressed:
So, who in the heck is going to overthrow this guy? Nabers has left a lot of people with their jaw on the floor and rightfully so. We know he's incredibly fast, but he was simply blazing down the field during his Pro Day 40-yard dash.
This is obviously going to have plenty of general managers happy, but where will he end up going in the NFL Draft? We could end up seeing four quarterbacks taken off the board first. If that happens, the Chargers at No. 5 could pick Nabers, Joe Alt, Brock Bowers or Harrison.
Plenty of mocks have Harrison going to L.A. If that's the case, then Nabers, who reportedly had dinner with the Giants the night before his Pro Day, would be there for the taking for Joe Schoen. This past season for the Tigers, Nabers hauled in 89 balls for 1,569 yards and 14 touchdowns.
He and Daniels were easily one of the best duos in the college game. Daniels has been linked with the Giants too, but there's just no way he falls to No. 6. The same can't be said for Nabers, however. This team is in desperate need of a WR1. Good hands? Check. Wild speed? Double check. If Nabers ends up making the move to New Jersey, a lot of people will be all for it, especially after seeing what he just got done.
