New York Giants star Malik Nabers had already made his feelings about FOX analyst Greg Olsen clear through a social media post following the broadcaster’s comments about his body language. However, the Giants wide receiver didn’t hesitate to further express his frustration verbally.
During a press conference, Nabers said he felt the ongoing narrative about his body language was unfairly targeting his character instead of focusing on his performance as a football player.
“I just feel like the narrative on me is always all the bad body language things that people have been saying about me, but as far as that is, if it’s a problem with anybody, the cameras can stay off me,” Nabers said. “The thing was about not telling the world something that’s not me. I’m going to speak up for myself all the time because there’s nobody else that’s going to be able to speak up for me.

“So I’m going to use my own voice and be able to speak up about me being a bad teammate, and I felt like that was just a lie. Just attacking my character as a football player and as a teammate.”
The controversy between Nabers and the FOX analyst began during the Giants’ 19–11 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Throughout the game, FOX cameras captured Nabers displaying visible frustration on the sidelines.
While discussing the situation with play-by-play announcer Joe Davis, Olsen said that elite wide receivers naturally want the football and expect to make an impact. However, he added that there’s a fine line between displaying competitiveness and allowing personal frustration to overshadow a teammate’s success.
Following Nabers’ Instagram post, Olsen responded on X, rejecting reports suggesting that he had labeled the Giants receiver a bad teammate. The FOX analyst also shared footage from the original broadcast to argue that his comments had been misrepresented.
Meanwhile, during his press conference, Nabers added that he had put the controversy behind him and was ready to shift his attention toward the Giants’ upcoming matchup.
