No. 8 – Aldrick Rosas

Big Blue’s special teams were awful in 2017. This offseason, Gettleman and Shurmur have looked to fix some of the issues, starting with the hiring of special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey.

One of the biggest weakness for the Giants last season was putting points on the board. It wasn’t just the offense. New York’s field goal unit was one of the league’s worst.

Rookie kicker Aldrick Rosas connected on just 72 percent of his field goal attempts. The Giants brought in competition this offseason, signing Marshall Koehn.

The job is still clearly Rosas to lose, but his roster spot is far from safe entering training camp. The Giants will likely want to see how both kickers perform in preseason games.

Koehn will not be a pushover. The 25-year-old connected on a 58-yard field goal attempt with the Minnesota Vikings last preseason.

The Giants know they will need improved special teams play for a quick turnaround in 2018. They clearly believe in Rosas’ talent. But at this point, it’s not a question of talent. It’s a question of consistency.
