New York Giants rookie sensation Malik Nabers will have to dig into his rookie contract after receiving a pair of fines from the NFL.
The fines stem from not one but both touchdown celebrations from Nabers' historic performance against the Cleveland Browns in Week 3.
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Nabers was fined for "violent gun gesture violations."

Nabers was the main reason the Giants were even in this game. After they gifted the Browns seven points on the opening kickoff with a lost fumble, Nabers took over.
The No. 6 overall pick recorded eight receptions for 78 yards and two touchdowns on 12 targets in the Giants' 21-15 win — their only victory of the season thus far.
Nabers became the youngest player in NFL history to record two touchdown receptions in the same game during the win in Cleveland.
Currently in the concussion protocol from Thursday night's loss to the Dallas Cowboys, Nabers has a little extra time to recover given the mini bye week that follows.
