The first season in the NFL has been nothing short of incredible for Malik Nabers as he's lived up to and exceeded the expectations placed on him when he was selected by the Giants 6th overall. This season, Malik Nabers has caught passes from Daniel Jones, Tommy DeVito, Drew Lock, and Tim Boyle yet, he hasn't missed a beat.
The great wide receivers are able to make an impact regardless of who their quarterback is helping the offense in times of struggle. This season, Malik Nabers has proven he's quarterback proof crossing the 100 catch landmark and the 1,000 yard landmark while missing two games with injuries and while dealing with some of the worst quarterback play in the league.
It'll be exciting to see what Malik Nabers is able to do once the Giants find their answer at quarterback but, he's proving to be one of the best receivers in the league.
