Malik Nabers may be a member of the New York Giants, but that doesn't mean he is changing his opinion on his college quarterback.
Washington Commanders star Jayden Daniels is a Heisman Trophy winner out of LSU. He relied heavily on Malik Nabers to win that coveted college award. Now, as rivals on opposite sides of the NFC East, both players continue to have a lot of love for each other.
Speaking recently on the 7 PM in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony podcast, Nabers opened up about their bond and Daniels' work ethic as a member of the Commanders.
"Doing what he did, it's like, so real, just because I know him, and I know his work ethic, and I know what he put into it," Nabers said. "And I know just how much of a teammate he is or how much he want to see everybody else win. But I'm proud of you. Like, I'm ultimately proud of you."
Daniels and Washington swept New York last season—the first time the organization did that since the 2021 season. While Daniels was busy leading the Commanders to the conference title game, Nabers struggled in the Big Apple.
With a new quarterback, Russell Wilson, leading the way, Nabers should be on a better roster this season than expected.
Will that mean he's ready to have his team competing with his former college quarterback? Only time will tell.
At the very least, it's clear that Nabers and Daniels still have an excellent relationship despite being on opposite ends of a division race.
