Giants overhaul special teams for training camp under Chris Horton
Summary

The New York Giants are revamping their special teams unit as training camp begins this week. Special teams coordinator Chris Horton, formerly with the Ravens, takes over a unit that has seen major changes, including the signing of punter Jordan Stout and the competition for kicker between Dominic Zvada and Ben Sauls. Other key aspects involve long snapper Ben Mann and potential punt returners like Braxton Berrios and Damon Bankston, who aim to improve performance after a tumultuous prior season. The Giants have cleared out previous veterans in favor of new strategies and players in a fresh start for their special teams.
