Kool-Aid McKinstry is looking forward to another chance at Malik Nabers

Kool-Aid McKinstry wants another shot at Malik Nabers when the New Orleans Saints take on the New York Giants.

But whether McKinstry gets his chance remains to be seen. This is due to an injury Nabers sustained in training this week; The rookie wideout has struggled with both groin and hip issues. However, Nabers reportedly has a realistic chance of playing.

The last time these two players played was last year at LSU and Alabama. Their one-on-one duels were limited, to McKinstry’s dismay.

“That definitely pissed me off,” McKinstry said, “I feel like I can compete well against him.”

His time against Nabers will continue to be split between him and Alontae Taylor. When it’s his turn, McKinstry takes advantage of his opportunities. They didn’t compete against each other often in 2023, but their time in college overlapped for three seasons.

Defensive coordinator Joe Woods delivered the message he gave McKinstry earlier this week: “You did it in college, now it’s time to do it in the NFL.”

How would McKinstry describe the matchup between two impressive first-year pros? He says: “That will make the game beautiful.”

Now all that remains to be seen is whether the Giants will let the Nabers into the game.
