Is undrafted free agent placekicker Jude McAtamney on the New York Giants’ 90-man roster to compete for the job against veteran kicker Graham Gano? Or, is he on the roster simply to lighten Gano’s workload as the 37-year-old comes back from knee surgery that landed him on IR in 2023.
McAtamney played Gaelic football in his native Ireland. He decided to try American football after seeing another Irishman from Gaelic football commit to be a placekicker at Georgia Tech in 2020.
Per ESPN, McAtamney landed an opportunity at Division II Chowan University in 2021, and parlayed that into a chance to kick for Rutgers in 2022.
