At the halfway mark of the 2024 NFL season, several rookies from the New York Giants have made a big splash for the squad—landing a spot on The Athletic's 2024 midseason NFL All-Rookie Team.

Tyrone Tracy Jr., New York Giants
At the season's midway point, Tracy is leading all rookie running backs in rushing — which is impressive, considering he had just 12 carries in September. But once Devin Singletary went down with an injury, Tracy stepped into the Giants' lead role. He now has 442 rushing yards (5.0 yards per carry) and a pair of touchdown runs.

A former receiver in college, Tracy has also been productive as a pass catcher and has yet to fumble. What separates him among this class is the explosive plays — he leads all rookie backs in carries of 20- and 10-plus yards (four and 11, respectively).

Runner-up: Malik Nabers, New York Giants
Despite missing two games due to a concussion, Nabers is tied for second in the NFL with 84 targets (behind only Garrett Wilson). Among rookie wide receivers, he is first in catches (55) and first-down grabs (31) and second in receiving yards (557). As long as he stays on the field, Nabers will be at the forefront of any conversation about this year's most valuable rookies.

Runner-up: Tyler Nubin, New York Giants
Nubin has been far from perfect this season, but the Giants have asked a lot of him and he has responded well. Halfway through the season, Nubin leads all defensive rookies in snaps played (553) and tackles (57), although he needs to play with better consistency to call his rookie season a success.
SMART, TOUGH, DEPENDABLE

If Nabors is 2nd in receiving, 1st in catches among rookies why is jus just a runner up? Don't 2 receivers make all-rookie like all-pro and pro bowl starter?

Pretty strong draft class so far.  Even if these things could change in a heartbeat.  For now though it appears to be the type of class you need to jumpstart a rebuild provided they can find a good QB next year.
