Special teams are special - few teams understand this like the New York Giants. Big Blue currently has a head coach with a special teams background, a proven special teams coordinator in Thomas McGaughey, and Tom Coughlin’s former special teams’ coach, Tom Quinn.
Call it the “New England way,” or refer to it as intelligent football. The Giants prioritize the third and least talked about element of football. New York substantiated this claim when they traded a 2023 sixth-round pick to the Houston Texans for cornerback Keion Crossen.
Crossen was a 2018 seventh-round pick out of Western Carolina by the New England Patriots.
