Malik Nabers

Kayshon Boutte received the publicity heading into the 2022 campaign for the Tigers, but it was Nabers who snatched the spotlight en route to a stupendous sophomore campaign. Nabers developed quite a rapport with new quarterback Jayden Daniels, as the pair connected 72 times for 1,017 yards on the season. Nabers appeared to get better as the season went on, posting over 100 yards receiving in three of the final four contests. That included the SEC Championship Game against eventual champion Georgia and a career-best nine catches for 163 yards in the 63-7 thrashing of Purdue in the Citrus Bowl. With the aforementioned Boutte having moved on but Daniels returning, the path is now even clearer for Nabers to dominate the targets as a junior, especially now that offseason gun charges against him were dropped and no further discipline is expected. Nabers will aim to make a few more jaunts to the end zone this season, as the only knock on him was that he scored just three times in 2022.
