Malik Nabers shows signs of what he can bring to Giants
NY Post
HOUSTON — Now everyone has seen what Malik Nabers has been doing for the Giants all summer.
Nabers made the first four unofficial catches of his NFL career Saturday, taking the explosiveness that he has shown in training camp and joint practices into the preseason in a 28-10 loss to the Texans.
The rookie, who had 54 yards receiving, played the entire first half alongside quarterback Daniel Jones.
“You never know when it’s your next time to get the ball,” Nabers said. “So I want to make every opportunity I get the ball to show the quarterback that every time he throws the ball my way I’m going to be able to catch it, any way, somehow.”
Any concerns that Nabers might be slowed by an ankle sprain suffered six days earlier proved laughable long before his acrobatic toe-tapping catch to set up a late first-half field goal.
