Is Malik Nabers a TOP-5 player in the 2024 NFL Draft? | LSU wide receiver Scouting Report & Film

Malik Nabers was the best statistical wide receiver in college football last year, but will that success translate to the NFL? Is he good enough to be the WR2 in the 2024 NFL Draft, or even a top-five player overall?
Today, we'll be looking to answer those questions in this official scouting report and film breakdown for the star LSU wide receiver!

Appreciate the love fam! Hope to keep growing it a bunch in the coming months

@@FallBallSports noti gang!

[@kyledabearsfan]

This WR is i think the craziest one ive ever seen. Its absolutely loaded, there are still guys like Xavier Legette whose a monster that people arent talking around. Absolutely nuts depth. Ive heard Nabers comparisons to DJ Moore coming out of college.

[@FallBallSports]

Yep, looks a hell of a lot better than last year for sure. Going to be diving into players like Legette, Coleman, and Franklin soon, I have high hopes!

[@NPaulBears]

Really nice channel dude, I’m gettin in at the ground level!

[@FallBallSports]

Thanks man! Hope to become your go-to guy!

[@carlaauri8461]

Enjoyed the content, waiting for top Qbs and Rbs. As a suggestion, best fit could be an interesting addition to the scouting report. Thanks!

[@mmclaurin8035]

They all said Jefferson would be a slot guy too. And the only reasons Marvin Harrison Jr. is still considered the best WR in this class is his name, and the fact that all the talking heads slobbered all over him in the off season. Nabers does literally everything better than MHJ, except apparently being taller.

[@FallBallSports]

Don't get me wrong, I 100% think that Nabers will be able to play on the outside, but he'll have to overcome some obstacles stemming from his size. And I agree that Nabers is closer to MHJ than people like to think, but he's still not better imo. Scouting report for Marvin Harrison Jr coming soon!

[@jaeten8690]

I agree with you. MHJ is good but he’s easily one of the most overhyped prospects I’ve ever seen. Everyone makes it seem like he’s a prime megatron. I think Nabers will be better in the league (just my opinion) he reminds me of AJ Brown

[@ashleymeggan]

And 8 inches of Marv is his bigass Beluga head.

[@joshhughart289]

Lol hater.

[@joshhughart289]

MHJ has clearly better hands. People focus too much on stats. Both are awesome players though. Brian Thomas may be better than Nabers. This class is loaded.

[@peaceasyx]

Really good stuff man keep up the great work

[@FallBallSports]

Appreciate the support! Thanks for tuning in!

[@user-tt1qf5fg8b]

I think he will be, the amount of LSU receivers in the NFL is amazing...

[@FallBallSports]

Yep and they usually pan out very well!

[@jeffsantos2846]

Hey man just discovered your channel. Great breakdown videos! Thank you!

[@FallBallSports]

No problem at all, thanks for tuning in and for all the support!

[@BKligz]

Great video. Love Nabers!

[@FallBallSports]

Me too, he would be the WR1 in most draft classes

Good stuff... subscribed

[@FallBallSports]

[@rexgoodheart3471]

When it comes to running with the ball, making defenders miss, yards after the catch... Marvin Harrison Jr. can't touch Malik Nabers. The team that drafts Nabers will get a more valuable player than the team that drafts Harrison. Harrison was pretty much shut down in three separate games this year. That didn't happen to Nabers. Couldn't have happened to Nabers, either, because he has an ability to turn short gains into big ones.

[@joshhughart289]

Jaden Daniels had a huge role in Nabers Success this yeah. When you have twice as long to get open and your QB is accurate it makes a big difference.

[@yief3194]

He's the exact same size as Ja'Marr and can handle press (like you said) so I don't see size being an issue. Good breakdown though. Bout to check out your other videos.

[@FallBallSports]

Yep, worth mentioning since other receivers who have a less-than-ideal build have struggled more in the past, but everything I've seen from him indicates that it won't be a problem at the next level. And thanks for tuning in, I appreciate the support!

[@joshhughart289]

Chase is more built.

[@ThatBigCactus]

@@joshhughart289 More built but marginally.. Nabers is a dog and gets absolutely everything out of his build, Jamar plays with a bit less range/radius for his build. Nabers' stride length, catch radius, and the width of his cuts are all better than comparable size'd guys like Diggs or Chase who play more "tight" to their core.

[@joshhughart289]

@@ThatBigCactus doesn't chase squat like 600 lbs? You must really like this guy.

[@ThatBigCactus]

@@joshhughart289 Every draft analyst loves Malik Nabers. It's not some bias I have. Like I said, Nabers gets more range out of his build. Chase has more power, but plays more compact. Squatting 600 fits in that description.

[@NK-vw4ms]

yeah crazy when I saw this account only had 582. These videos are crucial for dynasty playesr.

[@FallBallSports]

Thanks man! I appreciate the support, make sure to spread the word!

[@jameshaney658]

Nice vid. But I don't think is size is a problem. He's the exact size and weight as Chase, 1 inch taller than DJM, who he plays similar to both. There's a long list of outside wrs his size that found success. I think it's fair to use it as a negative, especially compared to this class. It just felt like you really emphasized that point when it's really not a negative for him or players with a similar play style.

[@wdtipvr1888]

Nabers is a cross between OBJ and AJ Brown

[@FallBallSports]

High praise!

[@wdtipvr1888]

@@FallBallSports yes sir. I think he's gonna be special

[@joeymerlan]

Future Chargers WR

[@mohammedhossain7958]

giant need to go with malik or ALT

[@madridmusic]

Hope the chargers grab this guy. Keenan/Mike Will are getting older. Herbert with this guy for years to come will be insane.

[@FallBallSports]

100% agreed. This guy is going to be a superstar, that's exactly what Herbert needs

[@garybyoosey3163]

I could be wrong, but it looks like he's running a wide variety of routes in this video.

[@FallBallSports]

LSU's wideouts made most of their hay off of simple route concepts. More nuanced systems will be a bit foreign to Nabers at first

[@gmoore005]

Great video only thing I disagree is the playmaking comment. LSU lined Malik up all over the field and gave him the ball in various creative ways. Sweeps, screens, jets, out the backfield. Marv will be the first drafted but depending on where Malik goes I think he has the best career. Also Malik size is becoming the prototype wr the big guys to me are on the decline because of route running.

[@FallBallSports]

He only had one rushing attempt on the season, and I didn't see a many screens or alignments out of the backfield in the games that I watched. That's a shame because I think that he could be great in all those areas with how good of an athlete he is, just wish he had a bit more experience doing that stuff!

[@googlechicken]

The other guy with 1400 yds is also a Malik. Malik Washington had 110 catches,1400yds ,10tds and know one talks about him

[@lamontmoss1249]

What conference he played in? Sometimes scout's look at the competition the player played against. Mhj and nabers did it against future nfl t players.

[@sebkure]

If MHJ is picked first overall by the bears, Nabers is 100% picked 4th by cards. Otherwise he could drop lower on the top 10

[@elfizz99]

Man I'm not even c ahargers fan and I'm really torn trying to see if they're goint to get bowers or nabers. Both exellent picks, even if I would try to trade with the pats, who are porbably going to get jayden daniels, so thay can more up the cardinals and get MHJ

[@FallBallSports]

Any of those three guys would be phenomenal picks for the Chargers, much-needed help for Justin Herbert!

[@Swerve-Online]

WR1.

[@shake6321]

i like this contrarian call. i am really hoping the bears get him

[@Frodoswaggns]

He definitely is more explosive than MHJ, they're real close to me, I'd rather get Nabers around 5-10 than MHJ at pick 2.

[@FallBallSports]

I'd take Harrison personally, but it's hard to disagree that Nabers would be the WR1 in most draft classes. The sky is the limit for him

[@shake6321]

@@FallBallSports and with rome odunze and with Xavier Laggette. its just a special WR class. maybe the best WR class ever.

[@justinesportsmedicine9379]

It's tough grading players from film and that assessment was nice but Nabers played x, y, and z because CBK was forced to because of the double and triple teams he faced in the SEC. Watch a few complete games I did, get your mind blown. 😂

[@FallBallSports]

Oh yeah no doubt he had a lot of experience in different spots on the field this year -- I just think he'd do better in the slot early on in his career. He's an amazing prospect and I think that he'll be a great player in the NFL!

[@CarsonPerkins-kn1mk]

Rome odunze next?

[@FallBallSports]

Already made one on him a while ago, go check it out!

[@tfive1060]

Why does it feel like he's better than MHJ to me? Am I crazy? I'm picking #1 in dynasty so I gotta figure it out by then

[@FallBallSports]

You're not crazy, they're closer than people think. I still prefer MHJ for dynasty, but maybe their landing spots will change that..

[@Kayvonix]

We know MHJ is going to the Cards and Malik to the Chargers...I would take Malik in dynasty@@FallBallSports

[@coachjones6104]

MHJ goes down to easily and not as twitchy as MN. This guy reminds me of DJ Moore. They are close to the same size and similar play style. MN has that dog in him. He's going to get it done on the next level.

[@elfizz99]

don't sleep on brock bowers. I think the chargers are going to go for him, and a wr in the second round@@Kayvonix

[@tonycasarrubia1394]

The Chargers have this guy penciled in.

[@FallBallSports]

They need him bad after whiffing on Quentin Johnston last year

[@JeremysRants]

I see Tennessee getting him if they miss on Olu and Alt. No way they take JC Latham over him.

[@FallBallSports]

Latham would be a reach there. I'm inclined to say that Nabers won't get to pick seven, but either him or one of the top tackles should make it there

[@notoriousbig6199]

I hope the Chargers select him…

[@FallBallSports]

He's exactly what Justin Herbert and their offense needs

[@tonyrobinson8050]

Fall Ball Sports...News Flash, every player can't go top 5 in the first round...It's impossible.
