Guy that can really get after it, play ball fast. He makes contested catches and runs great routes. A tradition of the LSU receiver being great at what they do, man. He’s really good after the catch. … He’s got a bright future as a rookie. I’m looking forward to the matchups in the future with (Quinyon Mitchell) and him. It’s going to be some great matchups in the future,” Slay said, per Eagles insider Zach Berman on X.</p><p>Nabers left the Giants’ loss to the Cowboys early but managed to register 12 receptions for 115 yards before his exit prior to the two minute warning.
