I'm happy this thread exists because this has been my brain in a nutshell over the past 6 months. I just watched all targets/receptions of these two players and have been reading all the takes on them. I have been pro Odunze for the past year or so, so many wow moments for me on his film, not that Nabers doesn't have those. That said, I'm leaning heavily on Odunze over Nabers at the moment. A few things that come to mind...
Odunze
- A true X, and can line up all over the field
- Physically imposing/contested catch guru (Adams/Hopkins level)
- Locked into playing with Caleb Williams and chemistry is apparent, and will learn from two great WR's
- Player Comp: If Davante Adams and DeAndre Hopkins had a baby
Nabers
- Incredible agility/speed (Tyreek like)
- LSU's all time receiving leader!
- Struggles with press coverage
- Benefited greatly from deep slot targets
- ~30% of production against safeties/linebackers
- Questionable character (arrested for bringing a gun to Mardi gras, made a bet publically known at NFL level...)
- Locked into playing with whoever New York rolls out on Sundays, which is not looking great...will not have a great mentor WR in New York, and is in a huge market with lots of distractions
- Player Comp: If Tyreek Hill and Percy Harvin had a baby
My Take: Personally, I think these two are close, but I much prefer Odunze stylistically and feel he has a higher floor/higher ceiling and zero off-field concerns. I'm excited for them both, but man, Odunze checks so many boxes for me.
The bet thing isn’t even news. That was before they went to their rookie education training. I’m sure little wagers like this have been happening between two players since the dawn of time.
People may discount the landing spot but the Giants have t even come close to having a WR Alpha like this since…. Well another LSU WR. If Nabers were to excel in NY would that change your mind? I’m a Bears fan and excited to have Odunze too but I would trade him tomorrow straight up for Nabers in real life.
Regardless everything you said about Odunze is definitely spot on. Most everything you said about Nabers was accurate too.
I hope both have incredible careers!
