The Giants have a big game against the rival Cowboys on Thursday night, and while Dallas’ porous run defense has been a big talking point heading into the contest, Boomer and Gio have their eyes on the Giants passing game and Malik Nabers.
After Sunday’s breakout performance in which he caught two touchdowns, both Boomer and Gio are all in on the sixth overall picks’ potential in the NFL.
“Malik Nabers is a difference maker, man,” Boomer said. “I don’t know if he’ll be as good as Justin Jefferson or Davante Adams, but he’s like right there with those guys.
“They got this pick right...the last two games, his presence is so obvious, and he has already made like five or six terrific plays.”
Jefferson also came to mind for Gio when talking about Nabers, which is obviously sky-high praise when comparing a rookie to arguably the most dynamic wide receiver in the NFL right now.
“To me, he’s a combination of Amon Ra St. Brown and Justin Jefferson,” Gio said. “He does the things that both of those guys do well, and he’s got a combination of both of them. He’s got the big-play jumping ability, he runs crisp routes. He’s a five-tool player.”
