The New York Giants have made a strategic move in their kicking game by signing punter Jamie Gillan to a three-year deal worth $10.2 million. Gillan, nicknamed the Scottish Hammer, has been a vital part of the Giants since joining in 2022, handling one of the highest volumes of punts in the league. With a kick average of nearly 45 yards and a solid placement percentage, he has proven himself valuable, especially with the Giants' offense struggling to maintain drives.

Despite dealing with a hamstring issue last season, Gillan participated in 13 games, contributing not only as a punter but also as a holder and emergency kicker. His unique rugby-style kicking has garnered praise from the coaching staff, emphasizing the need for confidence and muscle memory in his performance.
