Pro Bowl Games began Thursday night in Orlando, and New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers and nose tackle Dexter Lawrence participated in the skills competition. Nabers got things started for the NFC All-Stars,

Nabers is the franchise's first receiver to attain Pro Bowl honors since fellow Tigers talent Odell Beckham Jr. did so for a third time in 2016. Although similar issues plagued the Giants in 2024-25, the hope is that Nabers' arrival marks an eventual turnaround in the Meadowlands.

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers has been named to the 2025 Pro Bowl Games roster. Nabers will serve as a replacement for the Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, who backed out of the event due to injury.

Nabers is one of five rookies participating in the week's events, which began with the skills competition and continues with Sunday's remaining skills events and series of flag-football games (3 p.m. ET, ABC/ESPN). The NFC leads 14-7 entering Sunday.
