New York Giants rookie Malik Nabers is already causing a stir in the NFL before even stepping foot on the field for his debut. Nabers made some comments during the NFLPA Rookie Premiere event in May that caught the attention of Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs. Diggs, who will be facing Nabers twice a season as division rivals, didn’t take too kindly to Nabers’ words.
Diggs responded by re-posting the video of Nabers’ comments and even took to Twitter to throw some shade at the Giants. He mentioned that the Cowboys have dominated the Giants in recent years, winning 13 of the last 14 meetings between the two teams. Nabers didn’t back down either, as he also re-posted the video with a coffin emoji, escalating the situation further.
The beef between Nabers and Diggs continued on social media, with Nabers posting rap lyrics and Diggs responding with emojis. While trash talk is common in the NFL, especially between opponents, Nabers has yet to prove himself in the league, unlike Diggs who has established himself as one of the top cornerbacks.
Despite the back and forth between the two players, Nabers’ confidence in his abilities is clear. The Giants drafted him with high expectations, believing he can make an immediate impact on the team. The upcoming matchup between the Giants and Cowboys in Week 4 of the 2024 NFL season will certainly be one to watch, especially with the tension between Nabers and Diggs.
The game is set to be a primetime matchup on “Thursday Night Football,” adding even more anticipation to see how the rookie Nabers will fare against the seasoned veteran Diggs. Both Giants and Cowboys fans will be eagerly waiting to see how this rivalry unfolds on the field.
In the world of NFL rivalries, the drama between Nabers and Diggs is just the latest chapter. As the young rookie prepares to make his mark in the league, all eyes will be on him as he faces off against a formidable opponent in Diggs. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story in the NFL.
