Malik Nabers looking like a true No. 1 WR at Giants camp

It took a three-play span in the brutal summer heat at Friday's New York Giants practice to see what rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers was all about.


The Giants were in a one-on-one period, with Nabers matched against Deonte Banks on every rep. Banks is the best cornerback the team has to offer.


First play, Nabers created several yards of separation at the line of scrimmage as he ran a slant. Easy completion.


Second play, he accelerated downfield and stopped on a dime. Nabers worked his way back to the quarterback for another catch.


Finally, Banks had Nabers blanketed in the red zone. But Nabers managed to keep his body perfectly positioned between the defender and the quarterback to make a tough, contested catch as he went to the ground.


Three plays, three catches, three different ways of achieving a similarly effective result.


"I feel like [this summer is] just an evaluation of what I can do, what I can't do. ... There is not a lot that I can't do. So as many times as I make plays there are more opportunities that will come my way" Nabers said.
