Malik
Nabers

Malik had quite the introduction to the Giants faithful in 2024, breaking Steve Smith's franchise record by catching 109 passes as a rookie. Nabers did things few receivers have. Against the Browns, he became the youngest player in NFL history with two touchdown grabs in a game, doing so at 21 years, 56 days old to eclipse the mark set by Mike Evans.

Nabers\' rookie year was phenomenal by all standards except his own. The Giants\' breakout star gave his 2024 Pro Bowl campaign with 1,204 yards and eight touchdowns a \"C\" grade. \"Stats could\'ve been way better,\" he told NBC Sports. \"I mean, I could have done a lot of things way better in the season.\"

Malik didn't need long to establish himself at one of the NFL's most divisive wide receiver positions. He broke Odell Beckham Jr.'s franchise record for receiving yards and touchdowns in Week 2. He tormented the Cowboys' defense for 67 yards and two scores.

Malik didn't need long to establish himself as one of the NFL's most explosive wide receivers. His game-breaking ability triggered an instant elite Giants single-season receiving record while finishing second among all rookies in 2024 in receiving yards and touchdowns in what 2, 14 or more the Cowboys' catchment he passes for 16, part all his scores.

Nabers used the 2025 Pro Bowl Games to give fans one last taste of his skills before he started his blazing speed to help his team. Then, during a relay race, Nabers must-see leaping catch to a Baker Mayfield deep ball in double coverage.

Plenty of up-and-coming players sign with a team to play alongside veteran stars. Flipping the script, Super Bowl-winning signal-caller Russell Wilson opted to join the Giants to connect with Nabers. "I came here because of him," he said. "I really wanted to play with someone who is special like him."

A perfect fit for New York, Nabers has a background in delivering showstopping performances that would fit right in on Broadway. Cornerbacks (unsuccessfully) get in on the theatrics, turning in an act of desperation while failing to upstage the giant talent.

Hello, meet Malik Nabers. He's from Louisiana and a legend in the Bayou State as the LSU leader in career receiving yards, accomplishing it in 2023 when his 1,569 yards led the SEC. That made him an All-American and a major pro prospect, confirmed when the Giants made him the sixth overall pick in the NFL Draft.

Finding the end zone from 4 yards out in the second quarter, Nabers notched the first touchdown of his career. That was one highlight from a super day for the rookie. The wideout finished the clash vs. the Commanders with 10 receptions for 127 yards, including three catches of 20-plus yards.

Getting his first taste of an NFL opponent, Nabers participated in a joint practice between the Giants and Lions in 2024. He can compete with these pros in the league, said the playmaker. The level of competition is very high. There are players so be made when the ball is thrown in the air.
