Malik Nabers not shying away from Giants responsibility after crucial drop

Malik Nabers said he wants to be a role model for young fans, and then he made himself an example of accountability. 

The Giants are off to an 0-2 start despite Nabers’ breakout game of 10 catches for 127 yards and a touchdown last Sunday in a 21-18 loss to the Commanders.

The rookie receiver also dropped a late fourth-down pass that might have allowed the Giants to move into position for the winning score. 

“It’s hard to wash that kind of thing away,” Nabers told The Post on Tuesday night. “Once you look back on the record, you are going to feel like one of those losses was mine. I’m going to continue to move forward, get better and work on how I cannot drop that pass again.” 

Nabers was speaking as a co-host of the VIP kickoff reception for the “NY Team of Heroes” Gala that will be held Dec. 9 and is expected to raise $2 million to benefit the SBH Health System (St. Barnabas Hospital) in The Bronx.

His work with the not-for-profit Safety Net Hospital is his first major charity association in New York.
