Malik Nabers could be the first WR taken in the 2024 Draft

The 2024 NFL Draft is less than a month away. Head coaches, general managers, and scouts are busy this time of season. Most are traveling across the country to watch Pro Day’s and private workouts. Yesterday, the LSU Tigers had their 2024 Pro Day and one player shined among the rest.
