LSU Tigers is considered by many as the offense factory in the college football domain. It was evident once again last season when the pair of Jayden Daniels and Malik Nabers broke the SEC record in a 52-35 victory over Florida. But now, the pair would probably leave for different franchises as both are expected to be among the top 10 picks in the draft.
Regardless, their friendship remains intact as reflected by a social media post where the WR makes a bold claim that he is a QB in a receiver’s body and he is a better QB than Patrick Mahomes. However, his former teammate playfully mocks him for his silly antics.

The joke from Daniels was in reference to the claims made by Malik Nabers that he is better than Patrick Mahomes. In the clip, Nabers says, “Malik Nabers: I was always good at catching the ball but at first, I started like playing quarterback. Show y’all a real quarterback…… I’m really a quarterback in a receiver body…… Better than Mahomes.”
From the clip, it is evident that Nabers was candid about his comparison with Mahomes as a QB. However, a few days later, he didn’t shy away from commenting on the NY Giants’ QB situation, and he was serious about it.
Malik Nabers sets his expectations straight for QB from NY Giants
Malik Nabers was interviewed by CBS Sports on the prospects of being the #1 pick among WRs, with the potential of being picked by the NY Giants. Although Nabers looked interested enough, he clarified his intentions of joining the Giants given they met his expectations. Given the issue the Giants have with their QBs, Nabers wants them to settle it first if they plan to have him onboard.
Nabers said, “The QB situation, I know, is they are gonna figure out especially if the guy like caliber receiver like me, you know they’d wanna give me the ball. So, I’m sure they are gonna have a QB that can do that.” Nabers’ reply may come as a shocking response considering he met the NY Giants at a dinner on NFL Pro Day. But it also explains why he is so confident about his words as he has multiple teams like the Titans, Jets, Patriots, and Cardinals vouching for him.
