Reese, at 21 years old and 70 days, became the youngest player in NFL history \u2013 and just the second Giants rookie (B.J. Hill on Dec. 2, 2018 vs. Chicago) \u2013 to record at least three sacks in a single game since it became an official statistic in 1982.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the Ohio State product is the only NFL rookie to have a game with at least 10 tackles and three sacks since 1994, when tackles first became official.<\/p>\n
And he’s only getting better.<\/p>\n
“He’s so coachable,” Harbaugh said. “We’re bringing him from a lot of different places, and a lot of times he’s picking, or he’s setting the pick, or he’s spying. He does everything. He never gets into that world like, ‘I want to do this or that.’ Or ‘I want to rush the passer.’ Or ‘I want to cover man to man.’ He doesn’t worry about it. He just says, ‘You tell me what to do. What does the defense call for? What’s my job?’ He’s going to be doing it 100 miles an hour every time, and it’s just very, very cool and refreshing to see that, especially in such a young guy.”<\/p>\n
The awards keep stacking for the Giants, who stand atop the NFC East.<\/p>\n
Malik Nabers, who led the NFL in receiving yards throughout October, was named NFC Offensive Player of the Month<\/a>. He was the first Giants player to win the award on his side of the ball since quarterback Eli Manning in November of 2008. Nabers was also the franchise’s first wide receiver to win it since monthly awards were initially handed out in 1986. The defensive honor was achieved a little more recently<\/a>.\u00a0A month earlier, the league named safety Jev\u00f3n Holland as the conference’s top defensive player for September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reese, at 21 years old and 70 days, became the youngest player in NFL history \u2013 and just…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1051138,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2067],"tags":[7,519,347,1917,56,2321,2469,6],"class_list":["post-1051137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-giants","tag-football","tag-giants","tag-homepage","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-giants","tag-newyork","tag-newyorkgiants","tag-nfl"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/117593112780071435","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1051137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1051137"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1051137\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1051138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1051137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1051137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1051137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
