New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Naber is as advertised. He’s a dynamic talent the organization has not seen since Odell Beckham Jr.

On a second-and-8 from the Cleveland Browns’ 41-yard line, quarterback Daniel Jones tossed a ball up to Nabers that appeared quite underthrown. Cornerback Martin Emerson Jr. went up for what seemed destined to be an interception only to have Nabers come over his back, yank the ball out of Emerson’s hands, and get his feet down in bounds for the first down.

The Giants hurried to the line so that the Browns couldn’t challenge and then just a few plays later, Nabers made another spectacular catch — this time for a go-ahead touchdown.

With just seconds remaining in the second quarter, Nabers hauled in yet another touchdown. It wasn’t as impressive a catch as the other two highlighted above, but it was an exclamation point on an incredible first-half performance.
