Giants see what they ‘desperately need’ as Jayden Daniels, Malik Nabers put on LSU Pro Day show
NY Post
Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll stood Wednesday on the fertile ground where the Giants last found what they might be able to add again with Malik Nabers.
By showcasing his 42-inch vertical leap, an unofficial 4.35-second 40-yard dash, a 10-foot 9-inch broad jump and catch-and-run big-play ability, Nabers made the case at LSU’s Pro Day that he can provide the perimeter game-breaking element the Giants have been missing in the five seasons since trading the electric Odell Beckham Jr.
Actually, every pass that jumped out of quarterback Jayden Daniels’ hand and landed in Nabers’ fingers was doubly noteworthy for Schoen, Daboll and other general managers and head coaches of teams with top-six draft picks who were inside LSU’s practice facility.
The Patriots, who will pick three spots ahead of the Giants at No. 3, sent nine talent evaluators, per SI.com.
Giants’ representatives dined Tuesday night with Nabers, The Post confirmed, and reportedly set up one of Daniels’ first six one-on-one team meetings for after his throwing showcase.
Nabers told reporters at Pro Day that dinner with the Giants went “great.”
PHOENIX — Wednesday brought some cautiously optimistic updates for the Knicks frontcourt.
The Greatest Escape in franchise history was perpetrated by Glen Sather, when the general manager extricated himself and the Rangers from the final five years of Scott Gomez’s contract by moving the $7,357,143-per-year center to Montreal on June 30, 2009 after two years in New York.
The Yankees publicly are on the same page: Hal Steinbrenner, like Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone before him, said that issues with the club’s fundamentals did not hover over the team all season.
The first day of the rest of Daniel Jones’ dwindling time with the Giants arrived Wednesday, with Jones in the building, in the meetings, on the practice field (although not doing very much) and not at all part of the game plan for the next game, relegated to a non-participant role for the remainder of the season.
There will be a little extra magic for Knicks-Spurs on Christmas Day.
The quickest way for the Giants to climb out of quarterback hell is also the quickest way to extend their stay there for at least three more years.
The Lakers’ decision to keep Bronny James away from G League road games has sparked some debate about the level of preferential treatment the franchise is giving to LeBron’s son.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The Rangers continue to flex their strength on the road this season.
One of Tom Thibodeau’s stated points of emphasis for the Knicks this season — to increase their volume of 3-point attempts to take advantage of their proficiency from the outside — is starting to come to fruition.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — It’s the best-case scenario for Filip Chytil and the Rangers.
