Giants WR Malik Nabers Responds to Sauce Gardner's Taunting

New York Giants wide receiver and first-round draft pick Malik Nabers addressed Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner's antics and taunting during their joint practice on Wednesday.

Nabers took a straightforward approach, downplaying Gardner's actions and suggesting that if the Giants don’t like it, they need to perform better.

Since the Jets won the day, Nabers acknowledged that Gardner and his team have earned the right to brag.

"They can do that," Nabers said. "I mean, they won on the day. Their defense came out, executed well. We beat ourselves today.”

The taunting began after Tyrod Taylor connected with Jason Brownlee for a touchdown, capping off a dominant day for the Jets.

Gardner then added to the drama by blowing kisses and waving goodbye to the Giants players on the other side of the field.

Despite being a rookie, Nabers handled the situation with the composure of a seasoned veteran, showing maturity beyond his brief experience in the league.

Gardner, known for his trash-talking, backs up his words with stellar play, making his antics part of his playing style.

With both players standing out, they show why they're bright spots for their respective New York teams.
