As we count down the days til the 2025 season, the NFL has begun releasing its Top 100 players voted on by the players. The league will release 10 players at a time as we patiently await who will sit atop this list.
The NFL has most recently announced which players ranked between 70 and 61, and New York Giants fans should be pleased to know that wide receiver Malik Nabers cracked the list, ranking No. 67.
Not only is this a huge honor for Nabers in his young career, as he enters his second season, but it is also a significant achievement for the G-Men, who aim to have several players make the list, like Dexter Lawrence II, who we can expect to be named.
Nabers is coming off a remarkable rookie campaign, where he posted 109 receptions, 1,204 yards, and seven touchdowns in 15 games played. He also broke several records, including the Giants' franchise record for most single-season receptions previously held by Steve Smith.
There were many outstanding plays from Nabers' first season in the NFL, which makes this year even more exciting for Big Blue fans to see what is to come in year two.
However, when Nabers was asked which of his plays was his favorite, the 21-year-old gave a response that should have fans even more hyped.
Malik Nabers says his favorite play came against the Dallas Cowboys
As the NFL announces its Top 100 list, they are releasing a video featuring highlights from each player's career. The video begins with Nabers discussing his favorite play from his first season. He wasted no time and claimed it was the double move against the Cowboys.

Nabers is, of course, referring to a play he made on the opening drive of the Giants' Week 4 Thursday Night Football matchup at home against Dallas, where he made Cowboys defensive back Andrew Booth look silly by breaking his ankles, allowing him to get open for a 39-yard reception to set up a 52-yard field goal.
The play went viral and had not just Giants fans, but football fans talking about Nabers. This wasn't the first time the first-year wide receiver had taken a cornerback back to school, as he had made the Browns and Commanders' secondaries look silly the previous two games.
This was one of Nabers' first true highlights of his NFL career, but it's safe to say it won't be his last, as Big Blue fans should be hyped for what the former first-round pick has in store this season with Russell Wilson throwing him the pigskin.
