New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers is looking to turn heads during his rookie season. Nabers was one of the top wide receivers coming into the NFL this season. Some view him as a better prospect than Marvin Harrison Jr., but time will tell.
The New York Giants drafting Nabers is the most polarizing receiver they have on the roster since drafting Odell Beckham Jr. in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft from LSU. Malik Nabers is looking to help contribute to winning football games this season and also produce high numbers.
It was the smart move for the Giants to take Nabers with the sixth-overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft over quarterback J.J. McCarthy out of Michigan. New York would have reached on a quarterback instead of taking the best player available with that selection.
Pro Football Network Lists New York Giants Wide Receiver Malik Nabers On His Top Wide Receivers List Entering the 2024 Season
Pro Football Network’s Dakota Randall ranked his Top 32 wide receivers entering the 2024 season in the NFL. Malik Nabers was ranked as the 32nd best wide receiver in the NFL according to Randall entering the 2024 NFL season.
Nabers is one of two rookie wide receivers that are ranked on his list. The other wide receiver who is on this list is Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., who is ranked 26th overall. Dakota Randall said about the Giants rookie wideout who made the ranking:
“This was between Malik Nabers, George Pickens, and Christian Kirk. And you could make arguments for all three. But the pick here is Nabers, whom some teams ranked ahead of Harrison during the pre-draft process.
Nabers is explosive, uber-talented, and relatively polished as a route runner. Don’t be surprised if the No. 6 pick has an even better rookie season than Harrison, who was drafted fourth overall.”
Nabers is going to be better than George Pickens and Christian Kirk this season. Malik Nabers is going to jump up this list during his rookie season. There is a chance that he could go over 1,000 yards receiving this season for the New York Giants.
Odell Beckham Jr. was the last wide receiver on the Giants roster to accomplish that feat. Nabers last season with the LSU Tigers caught 89 passes for 1,569 yards receiving, and 14 touchdowns, along with averaging 17.6 yards per reception. It would be something if he posted identical numbers during his rookie season in the NFL as he did in college.
