It only took Malik Nabers one season to turn the league on its head

When the New York Giants took Malik Nabers sixth overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, they knew they were getting a dynamic playmaker... what they didn’t know was that they might’ve landed the league's next-best wide receiver.

Nabers finished his rookie season with a franchise-record 109 receptions, 1,204 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns in just 15 games, while catching passes from Daniel Jones, Drew Lock, and Tommy DeVito. The degree of difficulty can’t be overstated. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, in his recent top-10 wide receiver rankings article, likened it to rock climbing on stilts—likely helping Nabers land the seventh spot.
