Despite joining the Giants' most hated rivals during the offseason, Barkley made clear just how impressed he was with New York's superstar rookie receiver, seemingly aware of the negativity that his praise may elicit from fans of both teams.

New York Giants rookie receiver Malik Nabers became the first player in NFL history with 20 receptions and three receiving touchdowns in his first three games, according to ESPN Research. Nabers had eight catches for 78 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday in a 21-15 victory over the Cleveland Browns.
