Professional career

2009 NFL Draft

Considered to be one of the top wide receivers available in the 2009 NFL Draft, [23] Nicks drew comparisons to Hines Ward and Anquan Boldin. Butch Davis, Nicks' coach at North Carolina, went even further, comparing him to Hall of Famer Michael Irvin. [24] The New York Giants, in need to replace wide-out Plaxico Burress, selected Nicks in the first round, 29th overall. Nicks was the fifth wide receiver taken in the draft, and one out of six taken in the first round alone. [25]

On August 1, 2009, Nicks signed a five-year, $12.54 million contract. The deal includes a $6.5 million signing bonus. [30] During training camp, Nicks vied for a starting position with the Giants' other wide receivers, most notably Domenik Hixon and Steve Smith, and Hakeem Nicks had the best overall average of all these wide receivers with a 16.0 average. [31]

Nicks made his first career NFL reception on September 13, 2009, against the Washington Redskins on wide receiver screen pass for 11 yards. [32] On October 4, 2009, against the Kansas City Chiefs, Nicks recorded his first touchdown reception on a 54-yard screen pass. [33] For the next four games, Nicks would score a touchdown pass in each, becoming the first Giants rookie to score touchdowns in four consecutive games since Bob Gaiters, who scored in five straight games in 1961. [34] [35] However, Odell Beckham Jr. broke that record. On the strength of that feat, Nicks was named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month. [36] Nicks ended the season starting in the #2 wide receiver spot opposite Steve Smith after an injury to Domenik Hixon in Week 2 and outperforming Mario Manningham as of Week 14. He finished his rookie season with 47 receptions for 790 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns. He had two games on the season going over the 100-yard mark. [34]

At the start of the 2010 season, Nicks recorded his first three-touchdown game against the Carolina Panthers during the season opener, catching a total of four passes for 75 yards in a winning effort. [37] During Week 5, when New York visited Houston, Nicks exploited the NFL's 29th ranked secondary and more specifically Texans rookie cornerback Kareem Jackson as he reeled in career highs with 12 catches (tying a franchise record) for 130 yards. [38] In addition, Nicks caught two touchdown passes on the day from quarterback Eli Manning. [39] In Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys, he had nine receptions for 108 yards and two touchdowns in the 41–35 victory. [40] In Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks, he had six receptions for 128 yards and a touchdown in the 41–7 victory. [41] Nicks was inactive for the final game of the season in Washington due to a broken toe in his left foot. [42] On the year, he recorded 1,052 yards on 79 receptions, and was fourth in the NFL with 11 receiving touchdowns. [43] [44]

Nicks opened the 2011 season, his third, with seven receptions for 122 yards in a loss to Washington, followed three weeks later with 10 receptions for a career-best 162 yards and a touchdown against Arizona in the Giants' third-straight win. [45] [46] Nicks remained one of the few bright spots in the Giants' subsequent 2–5 slump, averaging 73 yards per game and recording four touchdowns. In Week 13, he had two receiving touchdowns against the Green Bay Packers in a 38–35 loss. [47] In Week 14 at Dallas, Nicks again had a career-best 163 yards on ten receptions in a pivotal 37–34 win. [48] In the 2011 season, Nicks had his second straight 1,000+ yard receiving season. He caught 76 passes for 1,192 yards (15.7 yards per catch average) and seven touchdowns, helping the Giants sneak into the playoffs at 9–7. [49] [50]

In the Giants' historically improbable 2011 postseason, Nicks had the most prolific receiving statistics in franchise history. In the Wild Card Round against the Atlanta Falcons, Nicks recorded six receptions for 115 yards and two touchdowns in the 24–2 victory. [51] The following week against the top seeded 15–1 Green Bay Packers in the Divisional Round, Nicks hauled in seven catches for 165 yards and two more touchdowns, including a 37-yard Hail Mary reception at the end of the first half. [52] After 55 yards in the NFC Championship win over San Francisco, [53] in Super Bowl XLVI against the New England Patriots Nicks was the leading receiver for the game with 10 receptions for 109 yards to help secure a 21–17 New York Giants victory. [54] As of 2017, Nicks' 2011 postseason numbers remain franchise records with 28 receptions for 444 yards (also most all-purpose yards) and 4 receiving touchdowns (also tied with Joe Morris and Brandon Jacobs for most total touchdowns). He also holds postseason career franchise records for most Yds/Rec with 15.86, Yds/Game with 111, most 100+ yard receiving games with 3, and along with Amani Toomer is the only Giant with 2 games with 2+ TD scored.

In Week 2 of the 2012 season, Nicks had ten receptions for 199 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown in the 41–34 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. [55] In the 2012 season, Nicks recorded 53 receptions for 692 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns. [56]

In the 2013 season opener for the Giants, Nicks had five receptions for 114 yards against the Dallas Cowboys. [57] In Week 5 against the Philadelphia Eagles, he had nine receptions for 142 yards. [58] In Week 14 against the San Diego Chargers, he had five receptions for 135 receiving yards. [59] In the 2013 season, Nicks did not record a touchdown reception, but still finished with 896 receiving yards in 15 games played for the Giants. [60] [61] Nearing the trade deadline on October 29, there was speculation that the New York Giants were going to trade him. As the deadline passed, no deal was done and Nicks remained a Giant until his contract expired at the conclusion of the season, making him a free agent.

Indianapolis Colts

On March 14, 2014, Nicks signed a one-year deal worth a maximum of $5.5 million with the Indianapolis Colts. [62] In the Colts' Week 17 game against the Tennessee Titans, Nicks reached 5,000 receiving yards for his career. He finished the season with 38 receptions, 408 yards, and four touchdowns. [63]

Nicks scored a receiving touchdown in the Colts' 24–13 win over the Denver Broncos in the Divisional Round. [64]

Tennessee Titans

On April 24, 2015, Nicks signed a one-year deal with the Tennessee Titans. [65]

Nicks was released by the Titans on September 5, 2015. [66]

New York Giants (second stint)

On November 17, 2015, Nicks returned to the Giants, signing a one-year deal. [67] In six games, he recorded seven receptions for 54 yards. [68]

Nicks signed a one-year contract with the New Orleans Saints on July 27, 2016. On August 8, 2016, the Saints waived Nicks. [69] [70]
