The New York Giants have announced through their X/Twitter account that rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers will be a part of the National Football Conference roster for the upcoming Pro Bowl Games. He will be replacing First-Team All-Pro member and Detroit Lions wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown.
While the Giants struggled to generate victories this season, Nabers has been a revelation on offense. The former LSU standout had 109 catches for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games, including a season-high 171 yards and two touchdowns in their Week 17 victory against the Indianapolis Colts.

Nabers has two more 100-yard games. He had ten catches for 127 yards and a touchdown in their first matchup against the Washington Commanders. Two weeks later, he had 115 yards on 12 catches versus the Dallas Cowboys.
Only the Jacksonville Jaguars’ Brian Thomas Jr. (1,282) has more receiving yards than Nabers among rookies. Meanwhile, Nabers is only one of four rookie pass-catchers with at least 1,000 yards (Thomas Jr., Nabers, Brock Bowers, Ladd McConkey).
With more experience under his belt, Nabers will be one of the Giants’ go-to guys in the coming seasons.
