- In the spot, Nabers appears on crutches at an IHOP and calls out leagues that sentence last-place managers to 24 hours of pancake-eating.
- A waitress and a young fan rib him over first-round fantasy picks, ending with his line, “Can we get this kid some pancakes?”
- Nabers' season ended with a torn ACL on Sept. 28 against the Chargers after four games with 271 yards and two touchdowns, following a 109-catch rookie year and a top-10 fantasy ADP.
- Coverage also highlights contrasting angles, with OutKick questioning durability and team commitment as other outlets note projections for a likely return before next season and IHOP's bottomless-pancakes promotion starting Jan. 5, 2026.
