For the 11th time in 17 weeks, the Giants have a player nominated for the Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Week.

Wide receiver Malik Nabers earned his sixth nomination of the season following his standout performance against the Colts that saw him catch seven passes for 171 yards and two touchdowns.

The 171 receiving yards not only set a new career-high for the rookie wide receiver, but it was also the most by a Giants player since 2021.

Nabers and running back Tyrone Tracy Jr., who has been nominated for the award five times, became just the third pair of rookies in NFL history – and second since the 1970 merger – to each have 1,000+ scrimmage yards. This is the first season since 2018 that the Giants have had two players exceed 1,000 scrimmage yards.

Over his last three games, the 21-year-old wideout has caught 24 passes for 321 yards and three touchdowns. Two of these outings led to Rookie of the Week nominations.

Nabers increased his season total to 104 receptions, the second-highest total in Giants history and only three behind Steve Smith, who had 107 in 2009.

He is also four receptions shy of the new NFL rookie record of 108 catches, set by Las Vegas tight end Brock Bowers, who also had seven on Sunday when the Raiders won in New Orleans.

"What a beast," quarterback Drew Lock said about the rookie receiver. "What a dude. He's going to be great. He's going to be great for a really long time. He's going to keep working. The mentality he has, he's just going to keep getting better. And I feel like you kind of saw that throughout the year. Yeah, that Browns game was impressive early in the year. But with each game, when he was healthy, or he wasn't really truly healthy, banged up going out there to play, kept making an impact, kept making more of an impact as the year went on. And that's hard to do with a guy that made such a big impact early in the year. Being able to consistently hang with that and be that guy, it's impressive."

Nabers is tied with Miami's Jaylen Waddle (104 catches in 2021) for the third-highest rookie receptions total in history, behind Bowers and the Rams' Puka Nacua, who had 105 catches for the Rams last season. Bowers has played all 16 games this season, while Nabers has played 14. Nabers can set the rookie record against the Eagles but will begin the day four catches behind Bowers.

Bowers and Nabers rank third and fourth, respectively, in the league in receptions this season, trailing Cincinnati's Ja'Marr Chase (117) and Detroit's Amon-Ra St. Brown (109). The Giants' rookie receiver also ranks eighth in the NFL in receiving yards with 1,140.
