This is exactly what the NY Giants fanbase wants to see out of Malik Nabers. The No. 6 overall pick is hoping to be a superstar for the long haul and he's very much looking like an elite talent in Week 2. Just ask the Washington Commanders defense about that.

In the first half alone, Nabers hauled in five catches from Daniel Jones for 73 yards. His best grab? Well, it came in the closing moments of the first half, with Jones finding him in the end zone for a score. This is Nabers' first TD with the G-Men and one he'll never forget:

After finishing the postseason without a TD, you know this moment has to feel incredible for Nabers. He indeed has been downright electric against Washington, with Jones looking his way quite a bit. The more time these two are on the field together, the more chemistry they'll build.

Nabers plays the game with a ton of swagger, and you could tell how much the Week 1 loss to the Vikings bothered him. Things were made a bit worse for him during practice mid-week when he was battling a knee injury.

Luckily, Nabers was able to get on the field and he has reminded everyone why he was taken by the Giants in the first round. Nabers is as good as advertised and this is surely a great sign of things to come for him.
