Malik Nabers named to 2025 Pro Bowl Games

MALIK-NABERS-PRO-BOWL

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Malik Nabers established himself as one of the NFL's very best wide receivers with his brilliant debut season, and the Giants' sensational rookie officially added the designation of Pro Bowler to his list of achievements on Monday.

Nabers was named to the Pro Bowl Games as a replacement for Detroit's Amon-Ra St. Brown, who is unable to participate due to injury.

He joins defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence II as Giants who will participate in the Pro Bowl Games beginning Thursday.

Nabers, originally named a second alternate, is the Giants' first Pro Bowl wide receiver since Odell Beckham, Jr. was selected to his third in a row in 2016. He is the first Giants rookie Pro Bowler since Beckham in 2014. Both Nabers and Beckham were Giants first-round draft choices from LSU.

Nabers, the sixth overall selection in last year's NFL Draft, was the Giants' most productive and exciting player in their recently concluded 2024 season.

Despite missing two early-season games with a concussion, Nabers set a franchise record with 109 receptions, two more than Steve Smith's former franchise record of 107, set in 2009. He totaled 1,204 receiving yards and scored seven touchdowns.

The 109 catches placed him fifth in the NFL and his 1,204 receiving yards was the league's seventh-highest total.

Nabers' 109 receptions are the most by a rookie wide receiver in NFL history, topping the 105 catches the Rams' Puka Nacua tallied in 2023. That is the second-highest total among all rookies, trailing only Las Vegas tight end Brock Bowers, who caught 112 this season. Nabers finished with 18 more catches than the previous Giants rookie record of 91, shared by Beckham and Saquon Barkley (2018).

Nabers had at least five receptions in 14 of the 15 games in which he played, the most games with five or more catches by a rookie in NFL history, surpassing the former standard of 12, set by New England's Terry Glenn in 1996 and tied by Arizona's Anquan Boldin in 2003.

Nabers' 1,204 receiving yards are the ninth-highest total in Giants history and the second most by a Giants rookie, behind only Beckham's 1,305 yards in 2014. Nabers and Beckham are the only rookies in Giants history with 1,000+ receiving yards.

Finally, Nabers' seven touchdown catches tied him with Bobby Johnson (1984) for the fourth-highest total by a Giants rookie.

Third-year pro Wan'Dale Robinson caught 93 passes in 2024. Nabers' and Robinson's 202 catches topped all NFL duos this season. Cincinnati's Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins were second with 200, and Las Vegas' Bowers and Jakobi Meyers third with 199. This was the first season in their 100-year history in which the Giants had two players each finish with 90+ receptions. The 202 combined catches by Nabers and Robinson are 34 more than the previous record for a Giants duo – 168 by Barkley and Beckham six years ago. The previous franchise record for two wide receivers was 166 by Beckham (101) and Sterling Shepard (65) in 2016.

The Pro Bowl Games are a multi-day AFC vs. NFC event that will feature 88 of the NFL's top players in several skills competitions and a flag football game. The first series of skills competitions will take place on Thursday at several venues in Central Florida. The flag football game will be played Sunday at Camping World Stadium in Orlando. Peyton and Eli Manning will be the head coaches for their respective conferences for the third consecutive season.
