The bet is … off.
Malik Nabers and his former LSU quarterback, Jayden Daniels, following the NFL draft, decided to put a wager on which of them would win the Rookie of the Year award.
The winner would take $10,000 from the other.
That is not going to happen.
“I’m educated now that I got here about sports betting and gambling so we called the bet off, there’s no bet now,” Nabers said Friday after his first rookie minicamp practice. “It was just another brother pushing another brother to try to get the most success.”
Nabers first revealed the nature of the bet on “The Pivot” podcast and discussed it again earlier this week on the “All Facts No Brakes” with Keyshawn Johnson podcast.
Someone must have informed Nabers and Daniels that wagering on NFL awards was not going to fly with league policies and they called it off.
Daniels threw 40 touchdown passes at LSU this past season, while Nabers had 14 touchdown catches.
Daniels went No. 2 overall to the Commanders; Nabers went No. 6 to the Giants
