Malik Nabers shares the story of an awesome interaction with Odell Beckham Jr

Every day that Malik Nabers goes through camp he draws comparisons to Odell Beckham Jr. This is the proper comparison as the Giants have lacked an electric playmaker at wide receiver ever since trading away Beckham.

Football Host Kay Adams made her way to East Rutherford, NJ to cover New York Giants training camp where she had Malik Nabers on her show Up & Adams. Nabers shared an incredible story about an interaction Nabers had with Odell Beckham Jr.

The biggest question with Malik Nabers is
Everyone is beyond excited to see Malik Nabers in regular season play as he's lit up training camp. Everyone is expecting that Nabers is the next in line in LSU's factory of elite NFL wide receivers but, we're all waiting on an official number choice from Nabers. He's currently wearing nine which he's said he won't keep while his LSU number eight is worn by Daniel Jones and his High School number 13 is worn by Jalin Hyatt. The leading choices from Giants fans are 80 and 88 which have been worn by elite playmakers like Jeremy Shockey, Victor Cruz, and Hakeem Nicks.
