The New York Giants made a significant announcement that rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers has been granted permission to wear the legendary No. 1 jersey, previously worn by Hall of Famer Ray Flaherty. This number holds historical significance as it was the first jersey number ever retired in professional football, marking an important milestone in the sport's history. Nabers will have the honor of representing such a prestigious legacy during his debut season.
Flaherty's legacy extends beyond just his number; he was a celebrated player who contributed greatly to the Giants organization.
