VIDEO: NY Giants’ Malik Nabers on what fans should expect from him
NY Giants rookie Malik Nabers continues to impress. He talked to the media after Tuesday’s minicamp about displaying his talent in practice.
Greatness is defined by history.

Sixteen players in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and 37 players recognized in the Giants’ Ring of Honor, including 14 who have had their jersey numbers retired.
