Giants’ Malik Nabers not concerned about costly drops: ‘Can’t control it’
NY Post
Malik Nabers knows there will be games like Monday’s, when Daniel Jones — or whoever is his quarterback — throws a ball and he drops it.
He knows that there will be routes like the third-and-7 in the fourth quarter against the Steelers, when Nabers created separation against Donte Jackson but then watched as Jones’ ball bounced off his arms, his chest and then the ground.
Drops, Nabers said Thursday, will happen.
He can make tighter catches and not wait for the ball to come to him, he said, but they’re inevitable at a position that gets peppered with throws throughout the course of a game, a season, a career.
Nabers has already been charged with three drops through six games, tied for the fourth-most among receivers, according to Pro Football Focus.
And in a season when Nabers has already positioned himself to top 500 yards — he enters Sunday with 498 on 73 targets, despite missing a pair of games — and collected a trio of touchdowns, the drops have served as the lone blemishes on his ledger.
