Malik Nabers, wide receiver for the New York Giants, seems to be making quite an impression at the training camp. Recently, sports reporter Connor Hughes made a startling comparison of Nabers with none other than Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver, Ja’Marr Chase, who is known for his explosive plays on the field.
Nabers joined the New York Giants for the previous NFL season and was definitely one of the team’s best highlights of the year. This time out, Nabers will be eager to put out an even more entertaining show for the Giants and his fans.
“Malik Nabers is just absurd. Long gain from the slot on Philips. It’s to the point where whenever the ball is in the air, in his direction, you know he’s going to catch it. Every day he’s doing this. He’s so eerily similar to Ja’Marr Chase it’s scary. #Giants” Connor Hughes tweeted from his X account.
“He’s just so explosive. I think his ability to get in and out of his releases, in and out of his breaks, the suddenness which he moves with that all the elite receivers have, I think that’s something that makes him incredibly tough to cover.” New York Giants cornerback, Paulson Adebo spoke of Malik Nabers recently.
Malik Nabers and the New York Giants will be soon kicking off their 2025 NFL campaign with a matchup against the Washington Commanders in Week 1. The team performed very poorly in the previous football year, and will be definitely hoping for a strong start in this upcoming season.
Malik Nabers Is Not The Only Weapon The Giants Need
While Malik Nabers is definitely stunning for the New York Giants, it is also clear that the team needs plenty more power in their roster other than the young wide receiver. In this upcoming season, the Giants will be led on offense by veteran quarterback Russell Wilson who signed a one-year deal with the team. While Wilson brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the team, their offense still needs plenty more energy, which Nabers alone cannot provide.
Russell Wilson played for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the previous NFL season, but did not churn out such big numbers. The quarterback, who might hang up his cleats for good pretty soon, will be hoping to score impressively with the team in the upcoming football season.
With wide receiver Nabers by his side, Wilson may have a good chance of getting close to the Lombardi trophy. However, the team needs to also look up to other sources of power if they aim for the Super Bowl.
