New York Giants' top pass catchers draw praise over Cowboys' group

As the New York Giants entered their first season under head coach John Harbaugh, many questions surrounded the team's receiving corps. However, just seven games into the season, the Giants' pass catchers have emerged as one of the team's biggest strengths and may rank among the better pass-catching units in the entire league.Before the Giants' first game of the season on Sunday Night Football, there were plenty of question marks surrounding Malik Nabers' return from injury. After a slow start, Nabers has come alive as of late. He just recorded his fourth straight game eclipsing the 100-yard mark. In the last four games, Nabers has hauled in 36 catches for 509 yards.The Giants have also gotten a massive return on their investment in Isaiah Likely, who has played like one of the best tight ends in the league this year. Likely is just two catches, 83 receiving yards, and two touchdowns from setting career highs in each of those categories.The Giants have also received contributions from rookie Malachi Fields and Darnell Mooney this season.The wide receiver room took a hit prior to the season when free-agent acquisition Calvin Austin was lost for the year due to an injury.Although depth-wise, the Giants certainly could use another receiver or two, the team felt comfortable enough with the way their roster was built to release both Darius Slayton and Odell Beckham Jr. within a few weeks of each other. The one-two punch of Malik Nabers and Isaiah Likely has been lethal for the Giants and is likely to get stronger as J.J. McCarthy continues to build chemistry with his receivers.In fact, Max Kellerman recently hosted Giants legend Carl Banks on the Game Over podcast and praised the Giants' pass catchers.View this post on Instagram
