0:00Giants camp probably the story of the
0:02week, right? Neighbors looks good. He's
0:04not 100% right now, but like my
0:06goodness, does he look good on these
0:07routes? He looks like he's cutting with
0:09absolutely no thought of the torn ACL.
0:13We did talk about this about a week ago
0:14saying, "Whenever you're going to bet on
0:16someone returning faster than expected
0:19from a significant knee injury,
0:21historically, the people who have beaten
0:22those expectations are young, highly
0:26athletic wide receivers."
0:27What is Malik Nabers? A young, highly
0:29athletic wide receiver. So, it's not
0:31shocking that he goes out there as one
0:33of these like super high-end talents and
0:36recovered really well. He's incredibly
0:39athletic. Those are the people who
0:40return. He avoided the pup, which means
0:42the team fully expects him to play at
0:44some point in the first four weeks of
0:45the season. Multiple reports recently
0:48that there's a chance he plays in week
0:50one. At this point, two-thirds return. I
0:52think he has to go to the two-thirds
0:53return. I think the discussion at this
0:55point is where do you place him among
0:57those options? That's what we're going
0:59to figure out over the next couple
1:00weeks, and it's how quickly he's ramped
1:02up and how he progresses in camp. Right
1:05now, I think I'd probably take him over
1:07Pickens. I think it's really tough
1:09between him and Nico, and I think right
1:11now I'd probably still take Nico first.
1:13If he progresses significantly, I'm
1:15still not going to take him over that
1:17range of running back that's Saquon, Ken
1:18Walker, Chase Brown, Hampton.
1:21And I think I'd probably still put
1:22Bowers at the end of that, but after
1:25that, I feel like I'm probably just
1:27going Malik Nabers if, again, once we
1:31see him in practice looking good. If
1:33that happens, that's probably where I
1:34put him. Right now, I think it's more so
1:36the turn, but I'd be lying if I said I
1:38wasn't very excited about the reports so
1:40far and videos that we have of him
1:41running routes.
