LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers is a fan of country music but he doesn't seem too excited about the possibility of playing for the Tennessee Titans!?
At the 2024 NFL Combine, CBS Sports came up with a game that predicts where draft prospects will end up by answering a few generic questions.
Here were Nabers' answers:
- Rose [favorite flower]
- Country Music Hall of Fame [Ideal tourist destination]
- 21 Savage [Ideal concert]
- Waffle House [Restuarant]
- Mockingbird [Favorite bird]
Based on Nabers' results, he is either going to be drafted by the Titans or the Atlanta Falcons.
His response?
"Oof. Uh, Atlanta wouldn't be too bad," he said.
Ouch!
The Titans pick at No. 7 overall and Nabers will likely be gone by then but it still hurts knowing that he'd rather play for the Falcons over Tennessee.
On a more serious note: Nabers did meet with the Titans at the NFL Combine and told reporters that it went "pretty good."
"I think my meeting with the Titans — it went pretty good," Nabers said on Friday. "I never really had bad interviews I would say."
The Titans are in need of wide receiver help to complement DeAndre Hopkins and if Nabers is available when Tennessee picks, then he may just have to settle for Music City after all.
During his final season with the Tigers in 2023, Nabers reeled in 89 receptions for 1,569 yards and 14 touchdowns.
He is the projected No. 2 overall receiver to go off the board in this year's draft, behind Ohio State's Marvin Harrison Jr.
