EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Giants are putting their first retired number back into service for sensational rookie receiver Malik Nabers.
The Giants announced Wednesday that Nabers will wear No. 1 this season.
Nabers to wear retired jersey number worn by Ray Flaherty
The number was retired by the Giants in 1935, coinciding with the retirement of end Ray Flaherty. It was first number retired in pro football history.
The decision came after talks between Giants co-owner and chief executive John Mara and Ray Flaherty, Jr., the team said.
