Pro Football Focus’ Jonathon Macri<\/a>, who put Nabers at No. 15 on PFF’s list of the top 25 players under the age of 25.<\/p>\n“Nabers is the closest rookie receiving threat to Brock Bowers coming out of 2024, and depending on which metric you want to favor, there’s a reasonable argument he could be ahead of him on this list,” wrote Macri. “In a stacked 2024 rookie wide receiver class, Nabers was the best of the bunch, leading the group in PFF receiving grade (87.1) and targets (165) \u2014 both top-10 marks for the position.<\/p>\n
“Nabers was also the only rookie wide receiver to crack the top 10 in PFF WAR in 2024, ranking as the Giants’ most valuable player in that regard by a significant margin.”<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old wideout set a new franchise record with 109 receptions in his first season with the Giants, falling just three catches behind Bowers for the new all-time rookie record.<\/p>\n
In addition to setting the franchise single-season record, Nabers also topped Puka Nacua’s mark for the most catches by a rookie receiver, which the Rams’ wideout set in 2023 with 106. This led to the Giants’ rookie ranking fifth overall and third among wide receivers in receptions.<\/p>\n
Nabers registered 14 games with five or more catches, another rookie record, which helped him finish with 1,204 receiving yards, which ranked seventh in the league.<\/p>\n
As if all of that wasn’t enough, he also led all rookie receivers in targets (165), yards after contact (256), first downs (55) and missed tackles forced (19), according to PFF.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Malik Nabers lands on PFF’s top 25 under 25 list Wide receiver Malik Nabers put together a historic…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":69982,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2067],"tags":[7,519,8008,347,1917,56,2321,2469,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-69981","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-giants","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-giants","10":"tag-giants-now","11":"tag-homepage","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-new-york-giants","14":"tag-newyork","15":"tag-newyorkgiants","16":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114551123317390062","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69981","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=69981"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69981\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69982"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
