Malik Nabers, the sixth overall draft pick by the Giants, is predicted to have a massive impact on the team’s offense this season and in the future. CBS Sports’ Chris Trapasso ranked him second in his list of top 10 rookies who will make the biggest difference in the upcoming season.
Nabers is described as a unique player with exceptional skills on the field. Despite standing at 6-foot and weighing 200 pounds, he possesses incredible speed and agility, making him a force to be reckoned with. He has an impressive ability to track down passes, excels in yards after catch, and demonstrates impressive explosiveness, vision, and balance when confronted by defenders.
During his time at LSU, Nabers proved himself as an exceptional talent. In the 2023 season alone, he finished with over 1,500 receiving yards for the second year running. He led the FBS in receiving yards and ranked second in receiving touchdowns by the end of the regular season. Nabers holds records for most 10+, 20+, and 30+ yard plays in a single season and is LSU’s all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards. His outstanding performance earned him accolades as a Unanimous All-American and first-team All-SEC selection.
As a sophomore in 2022, Nabers also had an impressive record of recording 1,017 receiving yards and three touchdowns. With his undeniable talent and proven track record of success on the field, there is no doubt that Nabers will make an immediate impact on the Giants’ offense from his rookie year onwards.
