WATCH: Giants rookie Malik Nabers spends lavishly at strip club with YouTuber Primetime Hitla
Malik Nabers has not played even a single snap of his rookie contract, and yet he is seemingly already burning a good portion of it.
On Sunday, an Instagram story surfaced of the New York Giants wide receiver throwing away dollar bills at a strip club with some friends, including YouTuber Primetime Hitla:
His rookie contract is worth $29.2 million over four years. It is fully guaranteed and contains an $18 million signing bonus.
Explaining how big of a role Malik Nabers will play with the Giants
Before Malik Nabers, the last time the New York Giants had a superstar wideout was Odell Beckham Jr. He was mercurial in his first three seasons, notching three consecutive seasons with at least 1,300 yards and double-digit touchdowns but also drawing attention for his behavior.
In 2019, just as he was about to begin a five-year, $95 million extension, he was traded to the Cleveland Browns, where he has mostly failed to replicate those highs. Save for a surprise run to the divisional round in 2022, the Giants have been largely bottom-feeders since.
But head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen are very optimistic that Nabers will become the monstrous passing weapon that Daniel Jones has long needed in his career, especially after the retirement of tight end Darren Waller.
Just recently, Pro Football Focus' Ian Cummings wrote:
"He can separate and generate RAC in isolation with his twitch and explosion, and he has impeccable catch-point instincts and proactivity on the attack."
These echo similar statements by quarterback Daniel Jones, who said last month during minicamp:
“I think he can be a tremendous weapon for us. He can do everything, there’s not much he can’t do really from a route-running standpoint. He’s dynamic either way the ball in his hands, and strong, fast, explosive, catches the ball well.”
Fellow wideout Wan'Dale Robinson also said:
“He is going to help all of us. Really explosive guy. He can play a lot of different positions — just like all of us. I’m sure Dabes is excited about being able to put us in a lot of different positions and do a lot of different things.”
The Giants' preseason camp begins on July 24.
