J.J. McCarthy's "strong arm" has stood out to Malik Nabers so far #shorts

Malik Nabers was asked what he has made of J.J. McCarthy so far. The answer came down to the arm, and the clip on New York Post Sports had passed 22,000 views eight hours after it went up. That pace points to about twenty times the channel's usual first day for a short.

The two arrived in the NFL in the same draft. Nabers was the Giants' pick at No. 6 in 2024, out of LSU. McCarthy went No. 10 to Minnesota after leading Michigan to the national title. The tags place McCarthy with the Giants now, and the channel spent the same day on first impressions. A companion clip has Cam Skattebo saying the quarterback knows what he is doing. It drew a respectable crowd, though nothing like the receiver's verdict.

The comments moved even faster than the views. Dozens came in within hours, against a usual handful for a whole first day. Many viewers argue over whether McCarthy or Jameis Winston should be under center, and a few point out that no receiver is going to call his quarterback weak on camera. Others have noticed a change in Nabers' attitude from last year, and several are already telling Leek, as fans call him, to get ready to catch some hard throws.

On the Rangers' opening night and a busy Knicks preseason, the Giants clip was the Post's sports channel's loudest story by far.
