Giants won’t compare Malik Nabers to Odell Beckham, but ...

How well can Malik Nabers carry the burden of expectations on his 21-year-old shoulders? The answer to that question will go a long way toward what kind of 2024 season the New York Giants rookie wide receiver, the No. 6 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, will have.

There are big-time expectations for the former LSU star. Those start with this:

  • Be the Giants’ best wide receiver since Odell Beckham Jr., who was a superstar for New York from the moment he stepped on the field.

Putting up nice numbers, like becoming the first 1,000-yard receiver for the Giants since Beckham did it in each of his first four full seasons, isn’t the only expectation.
