Giants fans already buying into Russell Wilson and Malik Nabers’ camp chemistry

One of the biggest reasons Russell Wilson was excited about joining the New York Giants was Malik Nabers. Wilson has thrown to his fair share of really good receivers, and he knows there’s a chance Nabers could prove to be the best receiver he’s ever played with. After a Pro Bowl rookie season, where he basically carried the Giants offense, Nabers is looking to take things to another level with Wilson throwing him the ball.

With just one day of training camp down, it’s extremely early, but the quarterback and receiver have already shown signs of an elite connection. Wilson found Nabers for a couple of red zone touchdowns on day one of practice, leaving fans excited about what’s to come.

Russell Wilson and Malik Nabers connect for a couple of touchdowns on day one of training camp

One of the scores came on a simple end zone fade, where Wilson threw the ball up, and Nabers came down with it over Deonte Banks. The other score came on a post route, where Wilson threaded the ball between two defenders to Nabers, who jumped up and celebrated after making the grab.

Of course, the duo wasn’t perfect on the day, though. There was another end zone fade attempt, again on Banks, and the defender won the rep, forcing an incompletion. After the play, Nabers was seemingly gesturing to Wilson to put the ball out just a little bit further, showing that their connection is still a work in progress.

The two are committed to putting in that work, and that was evident on Wednesday as they stayed on the field after practice getting extra reps in and working on their timing. The two locker mates are already building a rapport off the field as well, and have both expressed how impressed they are with each other. As they continue to refine their connection, they will be the key to the Giants turning things around.
