After the Washington Commanders won against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the wild-card game, where a doinked-in field goal sealed the win, Malik Nabers' reaction stole the show. In a viral TikTok clip, the Giants star can be heard exclaiming, “Roll em 5’s out" while his jaw dropped.

Now, the Washington Commanders supporters are convinced that Nabers will be the next high-profile player to make the move from New York to Washington. This would be just like the former Giants star Saquon Barkley did before him.

“He’s deada** gonna pull a Saquon and come here,” one fan wrote.

His performance in the Week 17 game against the Indianapolis Colts was spectacular: 7 receptions, 171 yards and two touchdowns in a 45–33 victory. To cap off his incredible rookie campaign, Nabers set the Giants' single-season receptions record, previously held by Steve Smith, with a total of 109 catches.

By the end of the season, Nabers had accumulated 1,204 receiving yards, seven touchdowns, and a new reputation as one of the most exciting young players in the league.

In Week 17's winning game against the Indianapolis Colts, Malik Nabers had an amazing performance. He caught seven passes for 171 yards and two TDs.
