Malik Nabers keeps impressing as Giants’ joint practice gets heated: ‘Not a lot that I can’t do’
NY Post
The only way for the Lions to stop Malik Nabers over the past two days was to draw him into a fight.
Nabers’ first taste of an NFL opponent only amped up the hype around the Giants electric rookie receiver.
He made an acrobatic touchdown catch Tuesday to highlight a two-day stretch of joint practices during which he caught 17 of 18 passes thrown in his direction during 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills.
“It’s just an evaluation of what I can do, what I can’t do,” Nabers said. “As I go out here I show them that there’s not a lot that I can’t do.”
But a superior performance took an ugly turn after Nabers and Lions first-round draft pick Terrion Arnold — former SEC rivals at LSU and Alabama — battled for an end-zone pass that fell incomplete.
Nabers tapped Arnold on the helmet as a sign of respect, but Lions safety Kerby Joseph quickly approached Nabers.
