LSU is sending two of the most celebrated prospects into this year’s NFL Draft class in quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receiver Malik Nabers.
During the school’s Pro Day on Wednesday, Nabers ran a stunning 4.35 40-yard dash, which should only fuel the likelihood that he’s picked in the first 10 picks of the draft.
After running that impressive 40 time, Daniels was elated for Nabers and congratulated him on the field. It’s awesome to see these two guys supporting each other before they begin their NFL careers next month.
Both of these guys excelled as Tigers, and they both look primed to do the same in the NFL.

What a day it’s been for Malik Nabers. 4.35 40-yard dash, 42” vertical jump, 10’9 broad jump
Talking with NFL personnel men, Malik Nabers is WR1 for multiple teams. It’s a tight split between him & Marvin Harrison Jr. Nabers is only helping himself today: pic.twitter.com/UbrPY1nHzV

“I’m a dawg. You can guard me. Anywhere I’m at, defense can’t stop me, no matter if they double me… I had enthusiasm cuz I hear a lot of shade so it was basically saying stop playing with me I’m really like this.”

We’re guessing they’ll wind up playing for different teams since they’re both basically locked at this point to go very high. However, that won’t change these two rooting for each other to thrive at the next level.
They’ve both got very bright futures ahead of them.
