From the episode

The best players on the field in my opinion yesterday in this game were Malik neighbors and Abdul Carter... Malik neighbors conjured plays out of thin air for the offense multiple different times... The play that neighbors makes where they throw that like high like corner route to him and it's he's not even really open. And he just makes like a twirly insane catch on the ball... That was another player. It was like that is what it looked like when he was at his best, too.

Nabers conjured plays out of thin air; OBJ-level catch-making on display.

Nabers was identified as one of the two best players on the field in the Giants' 36-24 win over Arizona; he conjured plays out of thin air for the offense multiple times, including a highlight-reel corner route catch where he was not even really open but made an insane twirly catch that evoked Odell Beckham comparisons. Brad Idzik emphasized this as exactly what the Giants need from their top-five draft pick—flashes of special playmaking ability when healthy.
