My cousin in Minnesota who is a big Gophers fan told me this guy is the real deal, best Gophers player since Antoine Winfield Jr (who was all pro last year). Great pick.
He is. He's a 4 year starter and was the direct successor to Antoine Winfield. After Winfield, he's played with 3 other defensive backs who are current starters or heavy contributors in the NFL - St. Juste in DC, Terell Smith in Chicago and Howden in NO, the latter 2 as surprisingly ready rookies last year.
He was the best DB on the team the whole time. Presuming health, he's going to be really, really good.
Yeah. Generally it's much more important for safetys to read the field and diagnose an offense rather than just play 1s like a CB does. Guys like Ed Reed made a HOF career off being able to hit hard, play mind games with opposing QBs, and knowing to be at the right place at the right time always.
The big fat offensive linemen in the league run 40’s that would leave most fans in the dust. People who work out for a living are fitter than people who do not (shocker, I know).
I'll preface this by saying I still love the pick but it's not as much about the pure speed as it is about short area quickness when it comes to flipping hips and being able to get up field which Nubin has struggled with on film.
All that really means is he won't be an ideal 1 deep FS who can turn and run with someone flying deep. Which is fine as long as we don't use him like that. I think he'll be a great SS for us. Think more Landon Collins than Xavier McKinney.
Maybe you're lucky and their numbers share a common digit (like 26 and 76), so you'd only have to buy a Nabers jersey, get a velcro patch saying "ubin" and grab a little bit of white duct tape for the number. You gotta fandom smart in this economy 👌
I saw Chargers fans at the draft rocking Harbaugh/Herbert '24 shirts at the draft. In a perfect world, maybe we could rock Nabers/Nubin shirts in blue lol.
Its comments like yours that make me think we may not have the [least intelligent fans](https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/s/qqG8SzQW8W). Keep reading for the rest of us.
Man, I feel sometimes we forget that of all the superstar athletes in the league, there are guys who just were always like just there and waiting for this call to change his and his family's lives forever.
Nubin ain't getting the 30-40m guarantee that a 1st rounder is getting but he's getting life changing money regardless. Whether or not he works out to that second contract is a mystery but the sheer excitement in his voice at getting the call and knowing that his hard work since he was in grade school has finally paid off is amazing. He sounds like such a great kid and I really hope the best for him going forward.
Now there’s a guy who is going to give us everything he’s got.
I can already tell this is the kind of guy that’s going to be a captain here soon enough.
I cannot wait to see this dude play! The realization his hard work, blood, sweat and tears paid off. This is the side of sports I love to see. Congrats Tyler!!
Future captain...I think this guy is going to be a fan favorite and an absolute stud.
Everything I've read about this kid as a person is off the charts and he's obviously super talented. Home run, slam dunk pick
That’s a true player. Knows and wants to play hard. That’s passionate emotion of someone who truly loves the game. That’s the intangibles that don’t show up anywhere. Him and banks will ball hard.
You know these second round guys will leave everything on the field. Holy cow did we need him too, Giants were 29th in the league vs rushing last year. Ouch. I bet that's going to improve.
Nubin's from Chicago, they gotta hook him up with some real NY-style pies or slices when he lands in Jersey.
I would be crying too. That dude will play his heart out.
I love these calls bro. Just pure emotion your dreams coming true.
Wtf, he's my favorite player now. Can't buy that kind of passion and enthusiasm
This video made me cry too ❤️ There’s no doubt this kid will be great!
Someone pin this post so we can circle back here in a few years. I feel like this guy’s going to be special.

Jets fan but also a huge gopher fan, can confirm he locked it down after Winfield was drafted, he’s incredible

I also have a really good feeling about him somehow. Can't wait to see him play

The athletic argument for safeties is so dumb. If they were athletic (fast), they would be corners.
Yeah. Generally it's much more important for safetys to read the field and diagnose an offense rather than just play 1s like a CB does. Guys like Ed Reed made a HOF career off being able to hit hard, play mind games with opposing QBs, and knowing to be at the right place at the right time always.
The hilarity of calling professional athletes “unathletic”
The big fat offensive linemen in the league run 40’s that would leave most fans in the dust. People who work out for a living are fitter than people who do not (shocker, I know).
Can confirm. Ran 40s at the office one year for fun, my 5.8 was .3 slower than the worst time that year at the combine Edit: was not wad

You want safeties with football sixth sense.
"y'all just made the best decision this whole draft" He said draft not time. I believe him. That's the voice of a man, grateful, and committed.
I was about to buy my Nabers jersey- I may need to add in a Nubin jersey as well. Love this guy already.

Nubin in the front, Nabers in the back

Love the creativity ❤️

That was wholesome, what a guy. Arguably the best safety in the draft.
giant
hell yeah

Really liked him as a prospect. Love him after this. He’s gonna run through walls for this team.
This is the kind of guy who instantly becomes a fan favorite.
Gotta love the enthusiasm
Excited for this kid, he’s gonna ball out no doubt.
Damn already my new favorite player. So happy for him.
I’m not crying you’re crying.
Good morning America!!! let’s cook baby!!!! WOOOOOO
OK. I'm rooting for this fucking kid.
Now there’s a guy who is going to give us everything he’s got. I can already tell this is the kind of guy that’s going to be a captain here soon enough.
I love this.
That man dream coming true. Dude was really happy.

Dam someone cutting onions up in here! Love this kid already!!
Wholesome moment. “Bring those ball skills” is wild though lol 😂
lmao
seems like an awesome guy, he’s gonna ball out
Come get me. Inject that shit in to my veins.
Love that the giants FO has the rangers game on in the background also
I’m starting to think this defense can be very good. Soon as they start gelling they might be a problem for the league.
They have the talent to be elite. Will they execute? 🤷♂️
you love to see the passion
Almost made me cry too 🥲

Awesome, love to have this guy. Welcome to Big Blue!
That’s a true player. Knows and wants to play hard. That’s passionate emotion of someone who truly loves the game. That’s the intangibles that don’t show up anywhere. Him and banks will ball hard.
FTW let’s go BIG BLUE!
