The New York Giants were unable to pull off a deal to land their preferred quarterback prospect in the 2024 NFL Draft, and instead added an explosive weapon to quarterback\u00a0Daniel Jones\u2019 arsenal\u00a0in former LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers.<\/p>\n

While there is some uncertainty surrounding Jones\u2019 future as the Giants\u2019 starting quarterback \u2014 both long-term as well as potentially even being supplanted by Drew Lock for the upcoming 2024 campaign, Nabers has the potential to make a transformational impact.\"Ezoic\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Nabers, the No. 6 overall pick in the draft immediately ascends to the top of a wide receiver corps that suddenly has plenty of speed and athleticism alongside the likes of Wan\u2019Dale Robinson and Jalin Hyatt.<\/p>\n

This could prove to be a pivotal season to Jones\u2019 future, as well as what direction the organization takes at quarterback moving forward.\"Ezoic\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Nabers arrives in the swamps of Jersey after catching a career-high 89 passes for 1,569 yards with 14 touchdowns while averaging a prolific 17.6 yards per reception, leading some analysts to suggest he was the premier receiver in this year\u2019s class, alongside Ohio State\u2019s Marvin Harrison Jr.<\/p>\n

Pro Football Focus\u2019 Sam Monson suggests Nabers may hold the key to Jones securing his Giants future.<\/p>\n

\u201cNabers recorded a 92.9 PFF grade last season,\u201d\u00a0Monson writes for PFF. \u201cAveraging an outstanding 3.64 yards per route run with just five drops and 30 broken tackles after the catch. He is explosive, wins in all areas of the field and is good at everything you want an elite receiver to be good at. He should immediately become the team\u2019s top wideout and completely transform the complexion of the receiving corps.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter last season, almost everybody seems to have given up on Daniel Jones as the starter, but it\u2019s not beyond the realms of possibility that he will play his best football in 2024. And his best football would at least give the Giants a decision to make next offseason.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jones has just one postseason appearance and one playoff victory on his resum\u00e8 since being chosen No. 6 overall by the Giants in 2019, and while it remains to be seen if New York\u2019s roster is playoff caliber in 2024, the organization likely needs to see more from the former first-round quarterback.<\/p>\n

Perhaps Nabers is the kind of weapon who will bring out the best in Jones. Time will tell.<\/p>\n
