New York Giants first-round pick Malik Nabers made his name in NFL history on Sunday by scoring an incredible two touchdowns in the first half alone.
The Giants have struggled in two games, but Nabers is an exceptional talent and he played his most impressive game yet in Cleveland.
Before halftime, Nabers became the first player in NFL history with 20+ receptions, 250+ receiving yards and 3+ receiving TDs in his first three games, according to NFL Statistics.
In the first half alone on Sunday, he had 66 yards and six receptions, with two touchdown catches, to give the Giants a 21-7 lead.
Nabers has improved in every game so far, making five receptions in a quiet debut, followed by a much-improved 10 against the Washington Commanders in Week 2.

The 21-year-old wide receiver was selected sixth overall in this year’s NFL Draft, making LSU the program’s all-time leader in receiving yards.
While much was expected of him in the NFL, few expected him to hit full speed so quickly, and the Giants will be grateful for his presence in their quarterback battle with Daniel Jones.
On social media, the rookie wide receiver was quickly hailed as a “superstar” by fans, with some even claiming he was “already one of the top 10 WRs in the NFL.”
More to come.
