Malik Nabers expressed gratitude for the trust placed in him by the Giants organization and Ray Flaherty's family, stating he does not feel added pressure by wearing the unretired No. 1 jersey, which once belonged to Giants legend Ray Flaherty.
The New York Giants decided to honor their legacy by unretiring the No. 1 jersey for rookie Malik Nabers following discussions between Giants president John Mara and Ray Flaherty Jr., respecting the history held by the jersey since 1935.
Ray Flaherty was a standout in the early NFL, leading the league in key statistics in the 1932 season. His legacy includes being the first player ever to have his jersey retired.
Malik Nabers had previously worn No. 9 during training camp, but that number belongs to kicker Graham Gano. His college number, No. 8, is worn by Daniel Jones.
