New York Giants add explosive receiving threat, taking Malik Nabers of LSU at No. 6 in NFL draft

Associated Press  

Follow AP’s live coverage of the 2024 NFL draft. EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Hoping to find an explosive wide receiver to open up their offense in the way Odell Beckham Jr. of LSU did a decade ago, the New York Giants went back to Cajun country and selected Malik Nabers with the No. “Not coming into, you know, trying to replace Odell,” Nabers said of the Giants’ first-round pick in 2014. “I’m just trying to lead into my own legacy.” Nabers will have to step up to match Beckham, who was the last Giants receiver to gain 1,000 yards. Great teammate, great leader, an all-around great football player with a dog mentality when I’m out there on the field.” With quarterback Daniel Jones coming off ACL surgery and his status for the start of the season uncertain, some felt the Giants might trade up to pick among a pool of talented quarterbacks.
