Malik Nabers Sounds Off on Greg Olsen After Broadcaster Questions Giants Star's Demeanor
Fox Sports commentators and social media blasted Nabers after he pouted on the sideline and dropped a fourth-quarter end-zone pass.
On Sunday, New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers responded on Instagram to criticism from Fox Sports color analyst Greg Olsen regarding his body language during the team's Week 9 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
Olsen criticized Nabers' body language during the broadcast, claiming he appeared to complain even after teammate Isaiah Likely scored, warning, "There's a fine line between being demanding and chasing greatness and then being a bad teammate."
Despite logging 53 catches for 648 yards this season, Nabers dropped a fourth-quarter pass from quarterback J.J. McCarthy that would have given the Giants a 20-8 lead instead of the 16-8 they settled for.
"Y'all be trying create a narrative on me," Nabers wrote on Instagram, adding his facial expressions remain the same regardless of outcome and demanding cameras stop focusing on his body language.
Olsen has not responded to Nabers' comments, while reporters including NFL reporter Billy Reinhardt and New York Daily News reporter Pat Leonard amplified the criticism on social media.
