K Graham Gano – STUD
It’s time to just make Gano’s “Mr. Consistency” nickname official.
Sunday, after spending much of the past two weeks in quarantine after testing positive for COVID-19, Gano extended his made field goal attempt streak to 21 games when he snuck a 49-yard try just inside the upright to tie the game at 10.
By game’s end, Gano had hit four of four field goal attempts and continues to be among the most consistent players on the Giants’ roster.
What makes Gano’s performance even more impressive is the fact that his only kicks prior to Sunday were into a makeshift kicking net in his hotel while quarantined.
As the temperatures drop, the wind picks up, and conditions deteriorate down the stretch, if Graham continues kicking at this high-level, he is going to be a real asset amid a playoff push.
