Malik Nabers Takes on the Pressure: Wearing a Retired Giants Number.
This week, Malik Nabers made a bold move that few would dare attempt: he requested to wear a uniform number that has been retired for nearly a century. Now, the Malik Nabers jersey number is set to become a significant part of Giants history. Giants co-owner John Mara and the family of Ray Flaherty, whose number Nabers will be wearing, granted his request. Now, the pressure is on, but Nabers believes he can handle it.
The Meaning Behind Malik Nabers Jersey Number.
“It shows how much trust they have in me,ā Nabers said. āThey say itās a lot of pressure, but I donāt really feel any pressureā¦ Iāve had pressure my whole life. Made it out of a lot of situations with pressure. I feel like I like pressure.ā
Nabers emphasized that āthe person makes the number,ā not the other way around. While the number holds no personal significance for him, he knows its importance to the Giants, their fans, and the Flaherty family.
A Promise to Honor.
Nabers also expressed his gratitude to the Flaherty family, understanding the responsibility of wearing this historic number. āIām going to try my best to wear it with pride,ā he said. On Instagram, he reaffirmed his commitment: āThank you to the Flaherty family for allowing me to wear Number 1 for the New York Giants. I will wear the number with great pride.ā
With this kind of commitment and confidence, it’s no surprise that Nabers’ jersey is likely to become one of the hottest sellers this season. Giants fans can expect to see it flying off the shelves. Additionally, a special shoutout to Kyle Cyr for the amazing photo edit.
