Over the start of training camp, no NY Giants player has made their name known more than Malik Nabers. While quarterback Daniel Jones hasn't always been doing the star rookie justice, Nabers has still made plays more often than not.
Nabers was selected No. 6 overall by the Giants in this year's draft and seems ready to fill a gap left by Odell Beckham Jr. when he was traded following the 2018 campaign. If Nabers can live up to the hype produced by just a few days of training camp, New York will have a real superstar on their hands.
One of the biggest plays Nabers made came on Day 3, when he made an absurd, over-the-shoulder, sideline catch over second-year corner Deonte Banks. This play made headlines when it first happened, but a new angle shows just how impressive the grab really was.

New angle of unreal Malik Nabers catch should have Giants fans fired up
While Jones has been a bit up and down throughout camp thus far, this throw was a reminder of what he's capable of. At the same time, life sure is made easier for him with someone like Nabers in town making plays like this. Jones can throw the ball up and have confidence his rookie will create magic for him.
If Nabers has the season we think he is capable of, he and the Giants could be in for a massive year. As mentioned previously, New York has failed to find a capable WR1 since trading Beckham away and Nabers has a real shot to finally break the curse.
People don't want to put too many expectations on the former LSU standout, but he also plays the game with a ton of confidence. He's been putting on a show at camp. Look for him to keep that rockin' once the preseason gets here and then once Week 1 gets here too.
