Over his first three weeks at the NFL, Malik Nabers has become a must-watch talent. The rookie WR has swiftly risen in the ranks as one of the league\u2019s most spectacular wide receivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It turns out Nabers is enjoying his time with the New York Giants <\/a>as much as fans tuning in to watch his awe striking catches and historic feats.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’m having a lot of fun, a dream come true,” Nabers said Tuesday, via team transcript.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, he has been a dream come true for a stagnant Giants offense, giving fans something to be thrilled about and a long absent dynamic delivery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even when New York dropped their first two matches of the term, Nabers was delivering highlights and receiving attention. Now, the Giants have secured their first victory of the term, a 21-15 win over the Cleveland Browns <\/a>where Nabers racked in eight catches for 78 yards and a couple of touchdowns.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rookie became the youngest WR in NFL history with two TD catches in a match, according to NFL Research. In those eight receptions were two outstanding grabs: the first when he skied above Cleveland cornerback Martin Emerson to pull a 28-year again along the sideline; the second an excellent 3-yard score where he skied for the ball before twisting his body to get  both feet inside the end zone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“They were good catches, but I’ve made some way better catches than that,” said Nabers, the 2024 NFL Draft’s sixth-overall selection. “I’m not surprised by it, it’s just how I play, it’s how I am.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following his latest showing, Nabers enters Thursday night\u2019s Week 4 opener against the Dallas Cowboys with 23 catches, 271 receiving yards and a league-high three TD grabs. Those numbers make him the first player in league history with 20-plus catches and three or more TD grabs in his first three career matches, according to NFL Research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now he is ready for his prime-time debut, but to him it is just another match against another team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s a regular game,” he said of playing on Thursday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it all the same competing against the Cowboys, too, no matter how high-profile they might be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s football,” he said. “A game is a game. Every time I go out there, a game is a game. No matter what day it is, a game is a game.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
