New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers owned his status as one of this season's fantasy football busts in a hilarious new commercial for IHOP.
Nabers was projected to be drafted late in the first round in most fantasy football drafts. Unfortunately, he suffered an ACL injury during the Giants' Week 4 game against the Chargers, not only cutting his season short but also leaving those fantasy players who drafted him very disappointed.
However, Nabers has found a way to turn a negative situation into a positive (and, we would imagine, a nice chunk of change) with his appearance in this ad promoting IHOP's "Bottomless Pancakes". For those players who finished in last place in their fantasy leagues who are punished by having to spend 24 hours at IHOP eating pancakes, this saves them a bit of money.
Kudos to Nabers, however, who was willing to take a few playful jabs after his underwhelming performance this season, even though it wasn't exactly his fault.

As we always say, although some pro athletes earn plenty, it never hurts to make that extra money while they can, because you never know when the opportunities will dry up.
