As Nabers's profile rises, the rookie remains true to who he is and his game.
By now, some might consider it a miracle how New York Giants rookie receiver Malik Nabers has held up given the seemingly growing amount of pressure that seems to land at his doorstep each week.
And now there is the extra attention that comes with Nabers’s having been assigned jersey No. 1, a number brought out of retirement from when it was last worn some 90 years ago by Hall of Famer Ray Flaherty, whose family gave their blessing to the organization to use the single digit on the number one draft pick who has been turning heads all summer long and who already is an early favorite to be int he mix for Offensive Rookie of the Year honors.
Nabers, though, is chill about the crazy path his life has taken over the last few months. His competitive nature has resonated with head coach Brian Dboll, as was seen on Hard Knocks. Nabers’s teammates seem to have embraced the rookie’s scrappy yet controlled demeanor, in which he’s shown that he’s not backing down against anyone.I’ve had pressure my whole life. Made it out of a lot of situations with pressure,” he told reporters Thursday. “I feel like I like pressure. So, I'm happy that it's on me. I mean, I guess if everybody puts pressure on me, then it's good.”
