Just one year into his pro career, Malik Nabers has been ranked the seventh-best wide receiver in the NFL, according to an annual ESPN survey of more than 70 league executives, coaches, and scouts. The rankings aim to capture the best players right now — not based on projections or past achievements, but current performance.
And Nabers, at just 21 years old, has already carved out a spot among the game’s elite.
Drafted sixth overall out of LSU, Nabers delivered a rookie season that defied expectations and shattered the mold. Despite playing in one of the league’s least productive offenses — and catching passes from four different quarterbacks he finished with 109 catches, 1,204 receiving yards, and 7 touchdowns.
