Riley Dixon’s strong camp continues

NY Giants punter Riley Dixon’s bid to bounce back from a subpar 2020 campaign continued Monday.

Dixon has had a strong summer, and Monday afternoon had a stellar special teams period.

At one point, Dixon drilled a punt from around midfield that took one bounce prior to being downed inside the one-yard line by defensive back Madre Harper. A few punts later, wide receiver Darius Slayton downed a Dixon punt inside the five-yard line.

If Dixon is able to replicate this kind of success in a game, he’s going to put last season’s struggles behind him and also give the NY Giants’ field position differential a major boost.
