The New York Giants are widely expected to select a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft, but there’s still plenty of debate behind closed doors about which one they should target. Amid all the internal chatter, one influential voice is starting to rise above the rest: breakout wide receiver Malik Nabers. And he’s all in on one name—Jalen Milroe of Alabama.
Milroe recently revealed on Up & Adams with Kay Adams that Nabers has already voiced his support, making it clear he wants Milroe under center in New York. The two already share a bond off the field, and Nabers is confident that chemistry could translate into something special on Sundays.
Nabers Knows What He Wants
After exploding onto the scene as a rookie with 84 catches, 1,204 yards, and seven touchdowns, Nabers has not only solidified his status as the Giants’ WR1, but he’s also earned the kind of respect that makes his opinion matter—especially when it comes to identifying the QB best suited to maximize his game.
Why Milroe?
Milroe might not be the most polished passer in the class, but his raw talent is undeniable. In 2024, he threw for 2,834 yards with 16 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, while rushing for 879 yards and a staggering 21 scores. His dual-threat ability and big-play potential make him one of the most electric prospects available.
Jalen Milroe
Armed with one of the strongest arms in college football and elite deep-ball accuracy, Milroe thrives when the pocket breaks down and plays need improvisation. While his short and intermediate game still needs work, his upside as a dynamic playmaker is huge.
The Perfect Situation
With veteran Russell Wilson expected to lead the team in 2025, the Giants are in a rare position to be patient with a rookie QB. Milroe could sit, develop, and learn from both Wilson and head coach Brian Daboll—the same coach who helped mold Josh Allen into a franchise quarterback.
The setup is ideal: no pressure to start immediately, a WR1 who already believes in him, and a coaching staff that knows how to develop raw, athletic quarterbacks. Milroe is a project, but in the right hands, he could turn into the Giants’ long-term answer under center.
