It turns out the Giants will have a kicking competition this summer.
After starting training camp with just one kicker on their roster in the form of unproven rookie Aldrick Rosas, the Giants on Tuesday announced the signing of veteran and former Jet Mike Nugent.
Rosas has never kicked in an NFL game. Nugent, 35, has appeared in 158 of them during his 12-year career.
The move comes auspiciously after Rosas’ first field goal attempts of training camp on Sunday. He attempted four kicks, three of them good and one that went right over the upright.
