The 2024 NFL season was tough on the Giants. They finished the year with a 3-14 record and didn’t qualify for the playoffs. The team’s losses and revolving quarterback situation resulted in a weak overall performance that was plagued with injuries and miscommunications. At the end of 2024, one thing was for certain. The giants needed to formulate a plan. Who do you call when you’re on a losing streak, have a deflated fan base and need someone to save the day? You call Russell Wilson. You tell him bring his football, Malik Nabers and a can of whoop ass.
While losing is considered a team sport, for one Giant, it was personal.
Malik Nabers is a Wide Receiver for the Giants. Nabers was the 6th overall pick in the 2024 Draft coming out of LSU. In his first year in the NFL, He set the Giants single-season rookie receptions record (92), and, in the same season, Nabers tied the NFL rookie wide for the most receptions in a single season.

Nabers’s performance during the 2024 Season was hindered as he struggled with the modifications made to the roster. In interviews, Nabers admitted that these repeated changes offered many challenges to his performance.
Nabers has been criticized for (what many believe) were a considerable number of drops last season, particularly for a rookie. Nabers suffered a concussion in week 4 against the Cowboys and was forced to sit out the next two games. He then then developed a Groin and Hip Flexor injury that kept him from some practices but did not prevent him from playing. https://www.bigblueview.com/2024/11/1/24284178/does-malik-nabers-have-a-drop-problem
Despite his stellar skills on the field, Nabers’ less-than-enthusiastic attitude about his team’s performance has gotten him into hot water. Nabers made several questionable statements to the press. After a loss, he told reporters that his team’s performance and efforts were “soft as f***.”- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEykiOrb2Wc
