New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers has set a new franchise record for most receptions in a single season with 109 catches, surpassing Steve Smith's 2009 record of 107. In the game against the Philadelphia Eagles, Nabers made a remarkable 45-yard 'tightrope' touchdown reception along the sidelines, showcasing his exceptional talent. This touchdown not only broke the franchise record but also established a new NFL rookie record for receptions, surpassing Brock Bowers' mark of 108 and Puka Nacua's previous record of 105. Despite missing two games this season and catching passes from three different quarterbacks—Daniel Jones, Tommy Devito, and Drew Lock—Nabers accumulated 109 receptions in just 15 games. His outstanding performance highlights one of the few bright spots for the Giants this season.
