The first round of the 2024 NFL Draft was a whirlwind. The New York Giants made a predictable pick, though. They took former LSU WR Malik Nabers.
He's a fluid athlete with top NFL wideout upside. They inked him to his first NFL deal on Friday.
The deal is for four year. It's worth $29,207,750 fully guaranteed and includes an $18,062,000 signing bonus and a fifth-year option.

Regardless of his number or draft slot, expect Nabers to be a top option for the Giants offense in 2024. Adding a dynamic talent like him made a ton of sense for NY as they try to figure out if their QB of the future is on the current roster.
