Giants' Dominic Zvada shines in kicker competition at minicamp
Summary

During the first day of mandatory minicamp on June 9, 2026, New York Giants rookie Dominic Zvada emerged as the frontrunner in the team's kicker competition. Zvada successfully converted all eight of his field goal attempts, while Ben Sauls managed only four of eight. Sauls also struggled in prior practices, where he missed half of his attempts last week. Following the release of veteran Jason Sanders, the Giants are looking for stability at the kicker position after a tumultuous few years with injuries and turnover among kickers. Reports indicate the team may seek additional competition for Zvada as minicamp progresses.
