New York Giants vs. Houston Texans Player of the Game: Malik Nabers

/Posted by / 9 / 0


The New York Giants lost their Week 2 season game to the Houston Texans, 28-10, in The Lone Star State on Saturday, but there were a few bright spots.

Rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers, the Giants first-round pick in this year’s NFL draft, stood out in his first game action with four receptions for 54 yards in one half of play.

The numbers may not seem eye-popping but the manner in which Nabers attained them is.

 

Honorable mention goes to another rookie — defensive lineman Elijah Chatman — who has been very impressive. In this game, he chased down Texans running back J.J. Taylor as if he were a linebacker.

Chatman also put several pressures on Houston quarterbacks in the game. He is the reason why the Giants traded veteran lineman Jordan Phillips to Dallas this week. He’s making the 53-man roster for sure.

As far as Nabers, his explosive, big-play ability is evident. We’ll give him a pass for this third-down drop in the first quarter — rookie mistake.
