Malik Nabers remains a sought-after prospect for teams in need of wide receivers, and the LSU standout is set to meet with another prominent team as he adds a visit with the Colts to his schedule, reportedly flying to Indianapolis tomorrow, as per NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe.

Previously, Nabers was slated to meet with the Titans, Jets, and Bears, all of which possess top-10 picks in the draft. However, the Colts, holding the 15th pick, may require a trade or a stroke of luck to secure Nabers.

The Colts aim to bolster their offensive arsenal around second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson. While they swiftly re-signed their top wide receiver, Michael Pittman Jr., their activity in acquiring other skilled players has been relatively low-key. Currently, their wide receiver depth chart for the upcoming season remains largely unchanged, featuring Pittman, Alec Pierce, Josh Downs, and D.J. Montgomery.

Adding Nabers would undoubtedly inject offensive potency into the Colts lineup. Standing at six-foot-one, Nabers built on his breakout 2022 season with an even more impressive performance in 2023, tallying 89 receptions for 1,569 yards and 14 touchdowns, earning him a unanimous All-American selection.

Nabers has now ascended to one of the draft’s premier wide receiver prospects. Although Marvin Harrison Jr. is widely regarded as the top player at the position, Wolfe suggests that some teams actually rate Nabers higher. With his first-round draft status solidified, there’s a growing possibility that Nabers could land within the top 10 picks.
