Giants add a punter from Pat Shurmur’s past

With only one punter on the roster and many, many kicks to get in at next week’s three-day mandatory minicamp and on into training camp later this summer, the Giants added a second punter, The Post confirmed, by signing Taylor Symmank, who has ties to head coach Pat Shurmur.

Symmank was with the Vikings last year in the preseason and so Shurmur, the Vikings’ offensive coordinator, got to see plenty of him. Symmank averaged 42.9 yards on nine punts in the preseason and put five of them down inside the 20-yard line. He was released prior to the regular season.
