Malik Nabers still has hope for Giants' rookies despite poor season

"We’ve got that mentality that we want to win," Nabers told reporters Thursday. "Nothing's going to stop us from getting done what we want to get done. To have that as a group and all in one, the sky’s the limit for us."

Selected sixth overall in April, Nabers has put together an impressive rookie campaign. He's racked up 969 yards on 97 receptions but only scored four touchdowns.

Additionally, Tyrone Tracy Jr. sits second in rushing yards among rookie running backs, behind only Tampa Bay's Bucky Irving.

Both are two future key pieces to New York's offense and having faith in the future of the team is the first step in completing a rebuild.

Nabers' attitude toward the situation should encourage Giants fans that despite the poor year, players haven't necessarily given up on the team.

That's a characteristic any fanbase should want from its star players. New York may be one franchise quarterback away from returning to competitiveness but it'll take an attitude shift like Nabers' to keep that trajectory on track.
