Nabers vs Beckham

Rolyrock : 5/5/2024 9:05 am
How are they similar different? I know Nabars hasn't played a NFL down, but who would be considered the better player
Nabers appears to be stronger and also ran a faster 40 time

OBJ’s 40 time was always bogus. The guy was easily sub 4.4 no matter what they said. All you had to do was watch him run past DBs. That said, Nabers is as well.

was great until he had a mental breakdown and became like he is today
Nabers

had a better career at LSU and was drafted higher by the same NFL team.

What happens next we can only guess.
Nabers is more physical and it shows up in his YAC

And contested catches. Nabers potentially could be like an OBJ with the physicality and contested catch ability of Jefferson. There's a reason Steve Smith sr chose him over MHJ on ESPN.
OBJ was undersized and

Needed to use his quickness and route running to get open. Once the quickness was gone due to injuries he had no other + traits to fall back on.

Nabers is bigger, more sudden with a faster top end. I’m excited to see how he runs routes.
I’d love for Nabers to be amazing

And that is my expectation. However, how can we compare them before he’s played a single NFL down? Beckham was transcendent before the injuries. If Nabers can match that, I think we’ll all be happy.

Obj has always played small, but he measured about the same as Nabers at 5'11 198.

Nabers plays bigger than his size like Jefferson does. Nabers and Jefferson have very similar games, Nabers is just faster and had more production out wide in college. Many people thought Jefferson would just be a slot guy which is why he made it to the late first.
Is this the undercard of Tysov vs Paul?

I think we are comparing them as prospects, at least I am.
Let's make some thing clear

There really isn't a physical difference between OBJ and Nabers
OBJ is listed at 5'11' and 200lbs
Nabers 6'0' 200lbs
I expect Nabers to be similar to Chase in terms of play style and impact.
I donot think he will match Odell's 1st 3 years of production, keep in mind he was out pacing every WR in league history at that time.
The big difference between the 2 is that Odell has inhuman hand size which allows him to pluck balls and not lose stride and long arms which allowed to play like he was a taller WR.
His ball skills were off the charts.
Nabers obviously is an elite athelete and he was who I wanted at pick 6 cause I regard him as a #1 WR.
I hope he's as good as a prime Odell
