Syracuse Football: Riley Dixon wins New York Giants punting competition

There’s no question, Riley Dixon is one of the most prominent fan favorites in Syracuse football history. Now he’s living his dream in the NFL, his latest pitstop is with the New York Giants.

In case you missed it, Dixon was traded (yes, traded) this offseason from the Denver Broncos to the Giants. That marked Dixon’s first return to New York since he spent four years on the hill with the Syracuse football team (2012-15).

Being a punter isn’t like being a quarterback. The gaudy numbers just don’t translate the same way, but I’ll attempt to do so.
