Yes, Malik Nabers is the real deal.
The Giants rookie receiver caught 12 passes Thursday night against the Cowboys. That gives him 35 in four games.
This places him second on the list for most catches made in a player’s first four games.
Nabers, the sixth overall pick in the draft, is second behind Rams receiver Puka Nacua, who caught 39 passes in his first four games a year ago.
He added 110 yards Thursday night, giving him 381 in four games. That wasn’t enough to crack the top five all-time for an NFL player’s first four games; Dan Edwards of the 1950 New York Yankees will continue to hold on to fifth place, with 412. (Nacua set the record last year, with 501.)
Nabers suffered a concussion late in Thursday’s 20-15 loss. He said on social media that he was fine. He will still have to go through the different stages of the return to play protocol. He has a few more days to do so; the Giants will face the Seahawks in Seattle on October 6.
