New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers broke the franchise's single-season reception record with 108 catches during the season finale against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Malik Nabers ’ rookie season is officially one for the record books after he broke the New York Giants ’ single-season reception record during Sunday’s season finale against the Philadelphia Eagles. With his fourth catch of Week 18, coming midway through the third quarter on a three-yard connection from the Eagles’ 10-yard line, Nabers upped his season total to a record-breaking 108 catches.
Steve Smith held the franchise’s previous record, which came in 2009 when he hauled in 107 catches for 1,220 yards and seven touchdowns. It had been a quiet day overall for the LSU product, who was drafted sixth overall by the Giants back in April. His four catches accrued just 19 yards — an uncharacteristically quiet day for an explosive talent who had found a way to shine regardless of the Giants’ ceaseless quarterback carousel this season. His 108th catch of the year also moved him past Puka Nakua and into a tie with current Las Vegas Raiders rookie tight end Brock Bowers for the most catches in a single season by a rookie in NFL history. Bowers suits up later on Sunday for his team’s season finale at 4:25 p.m. ET, but he played two more games than Nabers this season after the New York star missed time with a concussion
