Following a standout first season in the NFL, wide receiver Malik Nabers has been nominated for the Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Year.
Nabers put together a rookie campaign for the history books as he finished with the Giants’ single-season record of 109 receptions, which he took for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns. The receptions were two more than Steve Smith’s former franchise record of 107, which he set in 2009.
His 109 catches rank as the most by a rookie wide receiver in NFL history, topping the 105 receptions the Rams’ Puka Nacua had in 2023. Raiders tight end Brock Bowers finished the year with 112 receptions, which set the new NFL rookie reception record.
The 21-year-old wideout recorded five or more receptions in 14 of 15 games he played in, the most games with five or more catches by a rookie in NFL history, beating out the previous record of 12 such games by Terry Glenn and Anquan Boldin.
