Malik Nabers already strengthened his case for Rookie of the Year with unbelievably acrobatic TD catch

With Daniel Jones as his quarterback, it would’ve been fair to doubt the level of success that Malik Nabers could’ve enjoyed during his rookie NFL season. The New York Giants receiver’s matchup with the Cleveland Browns on Sunday quelled all of those doubts and then some.

Late in the first half, Jones fired a high dart to Nabers’ general vicinity in the corner of the end zone. The rookie receiver proceeded to high-point the ball, pirouette, and toe-tap both of his feet all in one motion for one of the best touchdowns you’ll ever see by an NFL playmaker.

It is truly breathtaking to see, even on replays:

I mean … HOW!!!!

Later, at the close of the half, Jones found an open Nabers to bookend a dominant six-catch, 66-yard, two-touchdown half and to give the Giants a 21-7 lead:
