That cements his legacy as the greatest WR to come through LSU, period.

Ja’Marr or Jefferson may have had the greatest single season, but even that’s up for debate. Overall body of work goes to Nabers.

He may also be one of the most talented after the catch as well.

He’s going to be an absolute stud on Sundays and will be next in the line of elite LSU WRs to play in the league.

It'll come with a huge asterisk, because he's gonna break Josh's record in a bowl game, when Josh's bowl game stats aren't being counted in his career total.

I love Malik, but that makes no sense.

No it won't. It's a record that speaks to ones longevity on the field along with production.

Josh Reed had a total of 134 yards receiving in his freshman year. Malik Nabers had 417.

What does that matter? For one Josh wasn't even a fulltime WR as a freshman in 99.

And two, he still went on to put up record-setting numbers the next 2 years that have him atop LSU's career marks.

Again, love Malik. Been saying he's the best WR in CFB this year for a while LINK. But don't sell Josh short.

Josh Reed was a converted RB so it took his freshman year to figure it out. There was nobody better after the catch because of his RB background. I'll say Nabors was as good but better. Meh.

I'm not arguing Nabers is better than Josh Reed. I'm saying if Nabers breaks this record, its his and its valid. There is no asterisk and no need to diminish his accomplishment.

Joe Burrow doesn't have the career passing yards record at LSU, and nobody is going to argue that Tommy Hodson was better than him. Still, that's a record that speaks to Hodson's longevity here.

Anyone who thinks Josh Reed is in the conversation for best receiver in LSU history has to be a European or a woman. He is not in the same league as Malik Nabers, Jamarr Chase or Jetts. He was a very good receiver with great skills after the catch, but equal to Chase? Come on. He was the 36th pick in the draft and never reached 600 yards in an NFL season. He never made a Pro Bowl and was never considered an elite receiver in the league. In his best season he was the WR2 for the Bills with 60% of the production of the WR1. In his second and third best years he was the WR3. Come on, man. STOP!

What does this have to do with him being a great WR at LSU?

The fact that Josh Reed was not good enough to be WR 1, and often not even WR2, on an NFL team?

Reed on the 2019 team would have killed it. People don’t recall how wide open he was on every pass. If he had a Chase or Jefferson opposite him on the sane team he would have been unstoppable

I’ve seen them both play plus a lot more before Reed and after. Give me Nabers all day everyday!

No one will ever compare to Josh Reed for me. But Malik has been inspiring to watch. Even when JD was too conservative in his throws and not going deep enough, Malik still shined. He is so stupidly good and outclasses any DB in college football.

As far as talent I think Chase takes the cake. But I don’t see anyone, not even Malik, having the career that JJ will have if he stays healthy. Kirk Cousins is underrated but if JJ had Joe Montana I honestly think Jerry Rice would’ve been WR2. Not by much, but still.

Anyone notice how several WR’s at the Florida/Florida State game were both in the same Louisiana class? It’s no wonder Miles and Orgeron won. BK has a gift and anyone who thinks he can’t win a NC here is insane.
