Barkley Salutes Rookie Nabers After Impressive Debut

Nabers, who had a stellar game, caught the attention of Barkley after his remarkable performance.The rookie had two touchdown receptions from quarterback Daniel Jones, helping New York secure the victory over the Cleveland Browns. Barkley, impressed by the young receiver’s talent, shared his thoughts on social media platform X. His tweet read, “Ya gonna hate on it… but idc!!! He’s LIKE THAT!!” This enthusiastic message was a direct response to a video of Nabers celebrating the Giants’ win.

Despite Barkley now wearing Eagles colors, he wasn’t shy about sharing his admiration for Nabers. However, there seemed to be an acknowledgment of potential backlash from both Giants and Eagles fans, as his praise was directed toward a rival team’s player. Nonetheless, Barkley’s words conveyed genuine excitement for the future of the Giants’ newest star, who is off to a historic start in his NFL career.
Meanwhile, Barkley had an impressive game of his own for the Eagles, accumulating 147 rushing yards and scoring two touchdowns, leading his team to their second win of the season. Still, his focus wasn’t solely on his performance, as he took the time to highlight the achievements of the Giants’ standout rookie.
Barkley’s connection with the Giants remains strong, despite his departure in free agency this past offseason after spending six years with the team. Interestingly, Barkley never shared the field with Nabers, as the wide receiver was selected sixth overall in the most recent draft. However, Barkley’s recognition of Nabers’ skills speaks volumes about the potential the rookie possesses.
While Barkley is now a rival, the two will finally meet on the field when the Eagles face the Giants at MetLife Stadium on October 20. Fans from both sides will be eager to see how this matchup plays out, especially given Barkley’s high praise for Nabers.
