Best Receiver in 2009 NFL Draft - Hakeem Nicks

[acuraboy101]

Lmao the  juke/spin was just as goodatthe butt catch.

[123pansie]

Chasing Moss? Hes chasing the record books.

[GDiddyInRapCity]

Chasing Moss

Hakeem Nicks - 3 TDs

[WORSTEVERR]

Jeremy Maclin is better

[Shmellme99]

@WORSTEVERR Maclin is faster, and thats it...

[WORSTEVERR]

@Shmellme99 yeah sure and Crabtree was the best receiver in that draft

[jatamode]

@WORSTEVERR Nah Nicks was he came from a pro style system Crabtree came from a spread so of course his numbers are like 4 weeks old grits in a pot sitting there smelling up the whole house- disgusting but Nicks is polished in my opinion.

[Shmellme99]

@WORSTEVER, you got it Crabtree and Nicks...

[NYGfan1243]

@WORSTEVERR hey if maclin was better why did hakeem hav just as many yards and he didn't even start till the end of the year. plus nicks dosent drop the ball as much as maclin

[Glacire]

@WORSTEVERR

HOW???

[simley123man]

i like how he run his routes

[corwingjc]

How is 3:10 not a touchdown. Ref's an idiot

[AndyAstronomer]

He amazing alright :) :) :) :)!!!!

[simley123man]

hell da fuck yea he is dat nigga gangsta

[ginuwine26zh]

kayne west

[ahmads98]

what is that song

[ahmads98]

whats that song called

[hotcarl84]

get off his nuts fags

[allenissocoolAZX22]

hes gonna be the future best reciever

[paulinbin360]

future star reciever for giants.

[knicks3085]

Could he be ROY? I hope so. Promising future for the Giants....at least on offense. D has to get back to that 07-08 form.

[mmaguy34]

he will be a star i promise that

[rentslave]

Kenny Britt did it again.Maybe they'll make a Rocky movie for him.(For those who don't know,Rocky was based upon a boxer named Chuck Wepner who is from the same town as Britt.

[UKNOWWHO07]

Im a huge fan of Britt and Rutgers also. He is probably the most talented big time reciever, but Nicks seemed like a more physical reciever with incredible hands. As a Giants fan I would be happy to have either one.

[TMGPREZ]

titans ain't going no where hakeem nicks is the truth check the stats.your boy kenny is a starter on a shitty team and can't keep up with a shorter slower reciver who was not starting thats how explosive my boy hakeem is recognize and fuck chuck wepner rocky based off him? mike tyson,muhammad ali rocky balboa this is reality son

[mrkidd1]

randy moss has 17 td rookie year

[Codyeagle1]

i bleed baby blue ima tar heels fan but i gotta say maclins better maclins owned in his first 2 seasons. Nicks isnt a sophomore like maclin is.

[ibrahad]

cody actually nicks is better only why people call him better cause hes so fast hes open hakeem nicks doesnt catch open

[mophead6]

3:17 thats beast

[Codyeagle1]

Hicks is having a good rookie year but Maclin is better Hicks is in the top 3 though either number 2 or 3

[P0tH3Ad25]

how about you spell his name right , you didiot. its nicks not hicks. p.s nicks is better than maclin.

[Codyeagle1]

didiot? pretty sure there isnt 2 D's in idiot. Nicks isnt as good as Maclin

[jna820]

i disagree, he has nearly as many tds with less than half the playing time. Once Nicks gets more playing time then we can make a fair comparison. They are both really good receivers

[P0tH3Ad25]

didiot is dick head and idiot. smart one.

[Codyeagle1]

okay so u just made up your own word good for u.

[superkewlgiants]

guarentee he ll be better than plaxico and when mario and ramses lern their patterns fully i wouldnt be suprised if our wr will be just like the 01 rams ones. and this confidence is still after the emabarrasing 5-4.

[saltystudios]

i dont know why he isnt passed to more often. during that eagles game he was just as wide open as some of those eagles receivers. The play that REALLY showed it to me was that recovered fumble where he turned what would usually be a 15 yard loss into like a 10 yard gain. Nicks will soon be the #1 receiver in NY.

[mmaguy34]

nicks is a beast

[runemail45rs]

hes had 4 recieving tds in the last 4 games. every single game. hes a beast i luv him i watched him play

[MikeJG24]

As a UNC fan, we were proud to watch Nicks for 3 amazing seasons, Its good to see Nicks doing well in the NFL!!!

[lizardliz101091]

Damn! Nicks and Smith. Top Giants receivers 09. All the way baby. Especially if Manningham continues his hands of stone routine....

[Shadapaga]

manningham deflects balls all over the place scared the shit out of me last week, manningham is good tho, and i would like to se barden play.

[youslacky343]

Son; I just realized that He did a Micheal Vick on those two Defenders; Juked them both and they hit each other

[Lawman449]

damn man he made us through in the acc.

[NYG18DIOGI]

It's OFFICIAL GIANTS FANS; HAKEEM NICKS has his #88 back after we cut our TE (MATTHEWS) last week....That PLAYMAKER #88 is gonna be a beautiful thing 2 watch...MAKIN PLAYS ALL OVER THE FIELD....ATLEAST (50) catches this season!!!! NYG4LIFE!!!

[giants1031]

amazing player for us a TD in 3 strait games any time he gets the ball you get on your heels

[TheMethodofMadness]

Watching Nicks this preseason opened my eyes. I'm not sure about everyone else but I saw a legitimate threat in Nicks and flashes of a star in the making. He should at least be the #2 or 3 receiver in my opinion but I can bet that he will move up quickly to take over the #1 spot or 2 early in the season.

[cutt15]

Nicks by far best hands coming into the draft.. perfect size...speed is their... maybe NFL offensive rookie of the year i've watched him in person since he has been at unc and no word describes hime other than amazing

[ninojersey]

as a die hard GIANT fam,I have been to their off season practices and watch them practice whenever they allowed the public to attend,HAKIM NIKCS IS A BEAST, u guys havent seen anything yet, his really talented and I am glad his in newyork..he was my favorit wide receiver in college and I was praying the giants get him..I put my money on it,he will make noise in the NFL this year

[MLBSS27]

my favorite player of the 09 draft. i love the way he plays especially how he fights for every yard and to get to the endzone

[dothedamnthang2]

wow I'm a giants fan, but impressed so many of you guys pick him as the best rookie wr.

the giants receiving core is going to need the help.

[escobarstatus]

....

[LaihoValo9]

i think he and hixon will be the main recievers and smith will stay slot reciever

[EyeGotAim]

hakeem is great i think he is the best reciever in 2009 draft jus look at him vs the jets in preseason

[shiv123]

he is creative and his hands are monstrous

[adths63]

And we all know crabtree is the best rookie wr

[Ayoung1124]

tru but the idiot is taking the year off wat an a-hole but this draft class was pretty good

[escobarstatus]

You mean in college?

Rookie WR's are making progress in the NFL...

Crabtree hasnt even practiced yet....Next!!

[adths63]

Ok, it doesnt matter hes still the best drafted you fucking idiot, and what he is doing his smart. Heyward shouldnt be making more money than him

[escobarstatus]

Fucking idiot?

Listen scumbag,lets not talk about who's the best until the guy starts proving shit...

What he's doing is smart?

Not being a part of the team?

Missing all practice...I bet he doesnt do shit this year....This is valuable time he's fucking around with...

[adths63]

Maybe you dont get it idk. The point is who is the best reciver going in to the nfl, not the best rookie reciver in the nfl you fucking dumb pieace of shit.

[Speedfreely]

I can't wait to see Nicks AND Barden on the field at the same time. These guys oooze talent!! Just hope they can bring it, NFL is a whole different level.

[Ayoung1124]

percey harvin is too dam small he aint gonna catch passes at 5'9 this guy has the best chance at winning offensive rookie of the year at the wide reciever position

[Freedomfighter781]

Harvin is 5-11 195 not to small pal... I love both guys.. Nicks is a beast but Minn players say Harvin is fastest guy on the offense... so that means he is faster then AP or Berrian... thats crazy... I really like nicks.. think he could catch 80 passes 1200 yards and 8-10 tds if the GMEN will use him. thats always what you dont know... who knows how much he will play.. you would think it woudl be a no brainer.. S. smith, hixon, Manningham,ramses barden... hmm lets think about who is the best..

[adths63]

what the hell you talking about hes to small hes 5'11...and look at steve smith hes 5'9 ! and look what he can do, wr isnt all about height bud sorry

[Ayoung1124]

yeh but wen u look at the best wide recievers of all time are any of them under 6 foot ...no thanx

[adths63]

Who said hes gonna be the best wr ? I DIDNT! i was responding to what you said "percey harvin is too dam small he aint gonna catch passes at 5'9 this guy" DOES STEVE SMITH CATCH PASSES AT 5'9 .... YESS AND A HELL OF THEM. Dont fuck wit me pussy get ya facts straights n take a seat

[adths63]

N yea dont even bother responding unless you like gettin shitted on bitch

[JMP1991JR]

I'd Take Steve Smith From Carolina Over Every WR Apart From Randy Moss, Andre Johnson & Fitzgerald.

[TheMeachEm]

great mike irvin type but i still think percy harvin has the best shoot at rookie of the year

[2007makaveli]

what song is this?

[ToolOfTrade]

This kid is a Hines Ward type of WR. VERY tough, and physical and doesnt hesitate to fruistrate defenses. I like this kid alot, you will see how good he is going to be for us.

[Freedomfighter781]

no way not a ward.. He is like BOLDIN>>>>>> plays just like him and is same measurements... about 6-1 220.... he is awesome and hope the giants stick him in the starting line up to catch 80 this year... he could be a 80-100 catch guy if ELI fagboy can get him the ball

[MrDosa77]

man i don't even like the G-MEN but i gotta say, it's gonna be HELL in dat nfc east!!! Plus the got 6 foot 6 ramses barden...he's a beast too!! don't believe me? look HIM up!!!!

[Freedomfighter781]

and for all them retards sayin he isn't fast... nigga please he is like BOLDIN but runs a 4.4... remember BOLDIN ran a 4.7 but he is just so hard to take down people forget that.NICKS has good speed and is a beast to take down... Check the Bowl game, NOTRE DAME, BC, he was str8 running niggaz over.... and guess what GIANT FANS... he wears 4xl gloves... haha guys hands are like fuckin baseball mitss. it looks like hes holding a fuckin banana man. are u kiddin... BEAST love the vid

[TheMeachEm]

NEGATIVE nicks RUNS A 4.6

[escobarstatus]

pro day 4.49

[Nate2203]

Wow, this is the first time I have ever seen any of his plays, and I gotta say, this guy is fucking awesome. He might not be the fastest, but he is a beast that will make a defender have to work to take him down. I hate the Giants.

[farewll2fashion]

YAC!

[ShIqpTaR16]

hakeem nicks is just an animaall..likk vince carter nickss is half man half amazingggg,,giantsss r deff goin at another superbowl run with this guyy...great handss great height speed waa elsee do yu needdd,,,nd dis guy can take hits 3:23

[NYG18DIOGI]

100% Agreed........Hakeem Nicks will be a STRAIGHT PLAYMAKER in the league...It's written all over him....He makes "NFL-TYPE CATCHES" LOOK EASY.He's gonna see a lot of balls from ELI.....Especially once ELI realizes that he catches EVERYTHING.....I can't wait until the season starts..NYG4LIFE!!

[NyGiantsFan4Life]

hell ya fuck hixon as a starter i want the rookie getting passes from eli. best way to make a name for yourself is to go all out in your rookie year and this guy gonna do it.

[NYG18DIOGI]

No Doubt........HIXON is a good football player",but, this guy (NICKS) Is gonna be OUR PLAYMAKER 4 Years 2 come......Just look at the play he made at the 3:00 mark......Sick Catch.....The Run After......Then the TOUGHNESS 2 FIND THE ENDZONE....He's gonna Shine....NYG4LIFE!!!!

[vcownzraptors]

@NYG18DIOGI in 8 games so far this season hes got 9 tds the dude is a straight up beast

[JacksonShred1989]

haha wat r u a fuckin eagle fan or some shit...this guy is gonna do alot for the g men

[Twixx20]

btw: how old are you? 12?!!

[Twixx20]

Oh great.. one great catch.. He´

s the best.. I guess thats why he´s way behind on a real powerfull depth chart of WR´s...

[NYG18DIOGI]

ELI IS GONNA LOVE THROWIN THE BALL HIS WAY.....(1) OF HIS BEST ATTRIBUTES...HE CATCHES BAD BALLS.Anybody can catch a ball right 2 them...look at how many tough(NFL TYPE) catches he makes.Tell the truth;When you see him ,you can see some(BOLDIN--ANDRE JOHNSON---MICHAEL IRVIN)Written all over him.TOUGH AS HELL...That's what i love about him.NYG4LIFE

[Twixx20]

Crabtree is the best.. and its not even close!!!

[NYG18DIOGI]

All of Crabtree's catches are wide open b/c of that spreed offence that they ran.NICKS on the other hand makes NFL CATCHES already......Look at the tape!!

[waffle600]

thank god we picked him up, you know?

[waffle600]

crabtree is not the best, did u see the catch at 1:11? can crabtree do that? No!

[giants1031]

glad we got him, look at 1:08 when he tries to juke the defender, he holds the tip of the ball with 1 hand, moving his arm and doesn't fumble. THATS HIS 10 1/2 INCH HANDS!!! normaly someone wit average hands the ball will slip right out

[ibrahad]

well nfl team dont have to cover maclin nfl teams will have to double team him cause he has massive hands

[ibrahad]

dang like 3 peopleon him still caught that damn pass what if gIANTS GET UNC QB THEY BE LIKE THE SAME PLUS A THREAT

[knicks3085]

Plus i feel Nicks is a more polished WR than Maclin.

Nicks runs better routes than Maclin and has better hands. Both have great hands but the edge goes to Nicks.

Plus i think, and you should agree, that these 2 haven't even played a game in the NFL. So this argument can be revived in 3-4 years.

[shawnjohn2194]

he may not be the the best receiver but hes pretty damn good i think so

[TheNextAriGold]

Best receiver in the draft? Definitely not better than Maclin or Crabtree. He's not that fast, and he's not that big. He's a little bit bigger than maclin, but not nearly as fast. I'd take Maclin any day over him, as well as Crabtree.

[giants1031]

HA 0:37 FUTURE TEAMATES

[7ustice]

he' not that best reciever. crabtree is.

[bjacobsdabest123]

yeah crabtree is but nicks is still a beast

[mcontino]

i LOVE unc and LOVE the giants..so im THRILLED nicks is on the giants!!

[bjacobsdabest123]

same here

[starjohnson22]

Love Hakeem, Hate The Giants, Go Cowboys!!!!!!!!!

[bjacobsdabest123]

what the fuck

nigga fuck the cowboys yall asss

you mad cuz yall team choke every year in the playoffs and the giants is better than the cowboys

yall got passin game nor rushin game yall thrash

[giants1031]

sad thing for them is they got the potential to be a top 5 running team but they just decide to pass more

[bjacobsdabest123]

now they can't pass no more because they don't have terrell owens

[Paawned]

He's an amazing player, He plays with his heart, Respect Hakeem!,

[BishopRealTalk98]

Crab

HB

Harvin

Britt

are all better in the draft.

[TheNextAriGold]

Maclin?

[Velourium]

I really like this guy, but for my team's sake I hope he doesn't translate well.

[jna820]

thanks bigbrownman92....cant wait for this season...we finally have a playmaker with good hands and a solution to our redzone problems....the giants were dominating teams last year, but we kicked way too many field goals...im hoping to see TDs

[Freedomfighter781]

well you got the right guy then... I love Nicks size, strenth, yac ability and toughness, competitiveness and the fact that he ran an offense similar to NY and instead of having yates he will have ELI throwing lasers to him... Reminds me of Boldin but longer arms and bigger hands and actually a step faster and at 21 he will mature into a top 10 wr within 3 years imo.....

[Hev1974]

The Giants future is so bright they have to wear shades.

[bigbrownman92]

welcome to the heartbreak by kanye west

Hakeem *The N.Y. Dream" Nicks...

[Lancer7489]

Hakeem "The Dream" Nicks, Welcome to New York

[writertrump]

you guys have a good WR, but guys we wont really know who is the best till the end of the 2009 season

but my money is on crabtree........

[the7thletterIsG]

wish he went to dolphins

[ok1me]

Gr8 song for 88 *NY Nicks* This guy is the B.O.M..the BEAST on a Mission...mark my words FUTURE HALL OF FAMERerrr... BEST RECEIVER IN THE DRAFT...BAR NONE !!!!!!!!! PLAYMAKER.... "I I DON.T FOLD UNDER PRESSURE...YOU KNOW...YOU JUST PUT IT ALL OUT ON THE LINE...YOU KNOW THE PLAY HAS TO GET DONE...THE PLAY HAS TO WORK...SO YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT WORK ! ! !" -Hakeem "New York" Nicks... enough said.... Peace Out............

[jlove1517]

giants made the right decision drafting nicks this guy is a beast so strong wait till they get him in an nfl workout regimen ginats fans r gonna love his run after the catch and that crazy stiff-arm i think he starts from day 1 i predict 75 catches 1250yds 8 td's in 2009

[gzuploc]

The Tarheel Nation is losing it's best receiver ever to the Giants. When you take into account he's only a junior, played in a pro offense for 2 yrs under Butch Davis (coached the Browns), and he's from Carolina where weighlifting begins at 13-14, this guy will have NY in the palm of his hand within the first month of the season. Oh, did I mention he has oversized hands and never drops ANYTHING?!?! I cannot believe he went that low in the draft...STEAL OF THE DRAFT

[tarasoff775]

the giants made the right move in not signing that passdropper edwards or that broken faced boldin , the giants have a very good young recieving core w/ smith, NY NICKS, MANNINGHAM, HIXON, , TYREE, 6'6 BARDEN....i WOULD RECOMMEND THEY ADD HARRISON TO TUTOR AND WORKOUT WITH THESE YOUNG WRS....MANNING WILL HAVE 3,000-4,000 YRDS PASSING FOR YRS TO COME WITH THESE WRS

[mwr2011]

[87UNC]

go heels baby hakeem went 2 the NYG in the first round today

[TheOvertime]

Check out our Top 10 receivers of the 2009 draft TheOvertime. com

[CPanthers892834]

Nicks and Crabtree are the best, you guys need to get over Maclin. Hes OVERRATED.

[TheNextAriGold]

Nicks isn't fast and he isn't big. Nobody in their right mind would double-team him.

Teams have to double-team Maclin. His hands are as good as Nicks'

[bjacobsdabest123]

what the hell are u talkin about

nicks is not that fast but he is quick and he break way more tackles than maclin and he is very a very big receiver. he might not be very tall but he is strong as shii

and hella teams have to double team nicks like west virginia and he still kicked they ass

so what u talkin about

[TheNextAriGold]

college teams had to double team him. But to demand NFL double teams, you have to be faster than Nicks is. He'll be a solid player, but to put him over explosive players like Maclin or Crabtree is pushing it.

[giants1031]

we probably have to wait 5 yrs or so to find out which #18 turned out to be better

[knicks3085]

Maclin is 6 feet 195 lbs. Nicks is 6'1 212 lbs.

Sure Maclin is faster but that doesn't mean nothing.

Jerry Rice wasn't so big and fast but he sure as hell is arguably the best wide receiver of all time.

[TheNextAriGold]

What's your point? First of all, Maclin is 200 lbs. So we're talking about a difference of 1 in, 12 lbs. Negligible. Maclin can jump higher too.

What is Nicks better at than Maclin? Both have great hands; Nicks is more used to pro routes but Maclin is learning; and Maclin is much faster.

With all due respect, comparing a rookie wide receiver from the ACC to Jerry Rice is just plain wrong. There's a reason 18 of 32 teams had Maclin as the number 1 receiver in the draft (over Crabtree too

[knicks3085]

I never compared Nicks to Rice. I just said that Nicks doesn't have Devin Hester speed and Plaxico Burress size.

Rice didn't have those combination's either but look what he did. My point is you don't have to have the size/speed combo of a Calvin Johnson to be successful in this league.

You were the one who said that Nicks wont get double teamed cause he's not big, yet you say Maclin will be double teamed but you gave no explanation as to how he will demand a double team.

[giants1031]

Nicks is a beast at breaking takles, bigger hands, and has much more upperbody strength.

[waffle600]

NEW YORK GIANTS FOR THE WIN!!!!

[tuccis28]

Where is the catch he made off his helmet?!?!?!

[carlosZ1981]

if he can make big tuna parcells come to NC in person and meet with him, thats saying something! lets go phins !

[JUMPMAN4693]

Hell Ya we better get him!

[DoLo25]

YES!!! Best in the Draft...just cause he wasnt main stream like Mike And Jeremy, doesnt mean he isnt the best

[LubeTubeMaster3000]

best receiver in the draft? no..he's top 5 but not number one.

[Freedomfighter781]

agreed I have him from 3-5 ... Crabs and Maclin are two best hands down... I could be wrong and he could turn out best but I don't think he will better than them two but he is amazing.. he is a first round talent for sure and could be another BOLDIN

[whitelght9]

Yea but he can still end up developing way better in the NFL than either of the other WR's that you put above him like crabtree or maclin... To be honest this guy looks like his hands are immaculate over Crabtrees or maclins and he has better hands, more power, better concentration, better YAC.... So yea Dont count this guy out on becoming better than either of them ...

[idahodad1]

He is going to have to protect the ball better in the pros, alot of the highlights shows him running with the ball in one hand.

Looks like a great prospect.

[bottle781]

THE GIANTS ALREADY GOT HIM

[qedask]

Guy is a stud, and he's going to be a Chicago Bear :-D
