We're just days away from the 2025 NFL Draft as hundreds of College Football stars will have their NFL dreams come true. The biggest storyline in any NFL Draft is where the quarterbacks will land as it could make or break an NFL Franchise. The 2025 NFL Draft class is one of the weakest in a long time as Cam Ward will go 1st overall but, after that point the draft could go several different directions.
Among the most interesting quarterbacks in this draft class is Alabama Quarterback Jalen Milroe. When Milroe is at his best he looks like a potential first overall pick while his inconsistencies and struggles at time throwing the football make him a late first round pick to early second round pick in this class.
As several teams look to add the Alabama signal caller, his biggest advocate may be one of his former rivals. On Kay Adams' "Up and Adams" show, Jalen Milroe revealed that Malik Nabers has been pitching the Giants staff on drafting Jalen Milroe.
The news is a bit surprising, especially as Malik Nabers had shown a bond with Shedeur Sanders, which made him a player in play to land in New York. After the 2023 Alabama Vs LSU game, Milroe and Nabers did share a long embrace so the two do clearly have a bond.
The Giants do need to find a long term plan at quarterback, especially as they have a receiver like Malik Nabers preparing to enter his prime. This offseason has helped Malik Nabers a ton as the team signed Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson which will give the team a higher level of play at quarterback.
While Jalen Milroe is inconsistent throwing the football, a few aspects of his game truly can help Malik Nabers. Milroe is at his best throwing the deep ball, which would help Nabers a ton as the Giants' quarterbacks constantly missed him on deep passes this season. Milroe's ability to run the football also helps as he'll garner a ton of attention which will allow Nabers to have 1 on 1 matchups more often.
It'll be interesting to see whether or not the Giants take Malik Nabers advice as the two have a ton of exciting traits which would make them an exciting young duo to follow.
