Malik Nabers Tabbed to Help Giants ‘Gadget Player’ Have Breakout Season

Getty Malik Nabers is predicted to help a New York Giants “gadget” WR enjoy a breakout season.

T op draft pick Malik Nabers will boost the New York Giants’ passing game in multiple ways. Not only should he emerge as the go-to outside wide receiver quarterback Daniel Jones needs, Nabers can also help “gadget” playmaker Wan’Dale Robinson enjoy a breakout season.

That’s the prediction from Marcus Mosher of The 33rd Team. He thinks Robinson “is more of a ‘gadget’ player than an actual wide receiver. However, rookie Malik Nabers gives the New York Giants a No. 1 receiver, so Robinson can return to being a dynamic slot receiver.”

The description may read as something of a back-handed compliment to Robinson, who led all Giants’ wideouts with 60 receptions last season. Yet, Mosher’s use of the word “gadget” speaks more to the versatility in Robinson’s game and his potential to be a roving playmaker able to gash defenses from anywhere on the field.

Unleashing that potential in concert with Nabers’ flair for stretching the field can transform a Jones-led offense.
