Rookie wide receiver earns the wrath of the ‘No Fun League’
New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers has been fined $28,128 by the NFL for two touchdown celebrations in Week 3 against the Cleveland Browns.
Per NFL insider Tom Pelissero, Nabers was fined for unsportsmanlike conduct/violent gesture violations — a gun-like celebration — on both of his touchdown catches against Cleveland.
Nabers had eight catches for 78 yards and the two scores as the Giants beat the Browns, 21-15, for their only victory of the season.
The No. 6 overall pick has been spectacular over the first four games of his career. He already has 35 receptions for 386 yards and three touchdowns.
Nabers is on pace for 149 receptions and 1,640 receiving yards. The Giants’ record for receptions in a season is 107, set by Steve Smith in 2009. Victor Cruz holds the record for receiving yards in a single season. He had 1,536 in 2011. Both of those records were set during 16-game seasons.
Nabers, of course, suffered a concussion late in Thursday’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys. His status for the Giants game next Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks is unknown.
