Giants WR Malik Nabers was tremendous during his rookie season, and on Monday, he added another milestone to his name.
The 21-year-old was added to the NFC roster for this weekend’s Pro Bowl games as a replacement for Detroit Lions star Amon-Ra St. Brown — who withdrew due to an injury.
Nabers was originally named a first alternate for the games, but now he officially joins Dexter Lawrence as Big Blue’s lone representatives.
He is the first Giants rookie to earn the honors since fellow LSU product Odell Beckham Jr. did so back in 2014.
Nabers certainly earned his spot as he put his game-changing superstar potential on full display and was easily one of the brightest spots for an offense that was among the league’s worst during a dreadful campaign.
Despite missing two games with a concussion and playing with a revolving door of subpar quarterbacks, he finished with a total of 109 receptions, which is a new franchise record and the most among rookie receivers in NFL history.
He also finished seventh in the league with 1,204 receiving yards and found the end zone seven times.
Nabers and the NFC will be coached up by Giants legend Eli Manning this weekend.
