Malik Nabers breaks Giants' rookie reception record

MALIK-NABERS

With two catches in Atlanta, Malik Nabers became the Giants' rookie record-holder, surpassing the mark of 91 set by Odell Beckham Jr. in 2014 and tied by Saquon Barkley four years later.

Nabers and Beckham are the only players with at least 90 receptions in their first 12 career games in NFL history.

Including Nabers and Brock Bowers, the Las Vegas Raiders' first-year tight end, only 11 rookies in NFL history have recorded 90+ receptions.

Entering Week 16, both players were on track to join the select group of rookies to reach 100 receptions: Arizona's Anquon Boldin (101 in 2003), Miami's Jaylen Waddle (104 in 2021) and the Rams' Puka Nauca (rookie record 105 in 2023).

Before Sunday, Nabers also needed 99 yards to join Beckham (1,305) as the only rookies in Giants history with 1,000 receiving yards.

The New York Giants traveled to Atlanta for their Week 16 matchup against the Falcons.
