Giants Now: NFL's All-Under-25 Team

MALIK-NABERS-GN

NFL.com's All-Under-25 Team

NFL.com's Nick Shook published his 2025 All-Under-25 Team earlier this week.

It should come as no surprise that Giants star wide receiver Malik Nabers was featured on the list of the league's top young players.

"Giants fans are very happy to have Nabers in the Big Apple, especially after he almost singlehandedly kept their offense afloat on many Sundays in 2024," wrote Shook. "In the final season of the Daniel Jones era, the quarterback treated Nabers like a life raft amid a torrential storm at sea, force-feeding his younger teammate and allowing Nabers to work his magic. Consider Week 2, when Jones targeted Nabers 18 times to the tune of 10 catches for 127 yards and one touchdown in a close loss to Washington. The other three pass-catchers saw a combined total of nine targets in that game.

"It became clear that, like (Brian) Thomas in Jacksonville, Nabers was his team's best option in the passing attack, eminently capable of making defenders look silly. He did that to the Browns with two touchdown grabs in Week 3 and torched the Colts for seven catches, 171 yards and two scores in a high-flying late-season win. The Giants have desperately needed a receiver with these capabilities since the heyday of Odell Beckham, and they've finally found it in Nabers, who was the first Big Blue player to reach 1,000 receiving yards in a season since OBJ did it in 2018. I expect Nabers to land on this list for the next two or three years."

The 21-year-old wideout set a new franchise record with 109 receptions in his first season with the Giants, falling just three catches behind Raiders tight end Brock Bowers for the new all-time rookie record.

In addition to setting the franchise single-season record, Nabers also topped Puka Nacua's mark for the most catches by a rookie receiver, which the Rams' wideout set in 2023 with 106. This led to the Giants' rookie ranking fifth overall and third among wide receivers in receptions.

Nabers registered 14 games with five or more catches, another rookie record, which helped him finish with 1,204 receiving yards, which ranked seventh in the league.

As if all of that wasn't enough, he also led all rookie receivers in targets (165), yards after contact (256), first downs (55) and missed tackles forced (19), according to PFF.

  • QB Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders
