Malik Nabers and his former LSU teammate Jayden Daniels (selected 2nd overall) have confirmed across a couple podcasts that they have a 10k wager on Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Well written article and candidly points out how desensitized young players are now with regards to gambling. They've grown up in an environment where it was a laughable offense to now where it's totally legal. The NFL does NOTHING to discourage gambling, they saw free money and they took it and yet try to hold players to a standard that belies how complicit they are. They slapped a few players with suspensions a few years ago and have since moved the goal-posts and changed the rules. I don't know that anything will become of this, but shame on Malik Nabers for not knowing the rules. Shame on him for unabashedly and publicly admitting to gambling. Shame on Nabers and Daniels for making 5 figure bets in a profession they ultimately have not proven themselves in and their lifetime earnings may not reflect what they think they're going to make. And shame on the NFL for not better educating players on the policy.
