From the article

two deep crossing patterns from Charlie Jones (89) and Malik Nabers (1)... Nabers ran up the seam to split the deep-fourth safeties, and he did an excellent job turning the hips of Blackmon with an excellent route where he leaned outward and exploded back to the inside... A great job by Nabers, McCarthy, the offensive line, and the Giants coaching staff to secure 49 yards.

Positive signalUsage

Nabers targeted on 27-yard and 49-yard completions; elite route-running and catch-making.

Nabers featured prominently in McCarthy's film review as a primary target in multiple high-leverage situations. He was targeted on a 27-yard deep crossing pattern against Cover-6 where he was out-leveraged by Julian Blackmon but made a miraculous adjustment to secure the pass from the far-hash; on a 49-yard strike where he split the deep-fourth safeties, turned the hips of Blackmon with an excellent route leaning outward and exploding back inside, and caught the ball outside and away from Blackmon; and was involved in the formation on the 20-yard Likely completion. The analysis emphasizes Nabers' route-running excellence and catch-making ability in difficult situations, noting his performance was part of why McCarthy was drafted so high and crediting him with a great job on the 46-yard strike.
