Watch Jude McAtamney and Graham Gano kick during New York Giants practices, and it is crystal clear that the 25-year-old McAtamney has a stronger leg, probably much stronger, than the 38-year-old Gano.
Gano is a 16-year veteran who has had a a number of serious leg injuries during his career, and missed games with knee and hamstring injuries the past two seasons.
Back in 2018, Gano, then with the Carolina Panthers, kicked a 63-yard field goal as time expired to beat the Giants. Those days are likely gone. Gano, a Giant since 2020, has a franchise-record 25 field goals beyond 50 yards.
