Giants linemen try their hands -- and chests -- at catching punts

Typically a team's defense is ahead of its offense at this early point in training camp. Turns out that's true when it comes to big ol' linemen catching punts as well.

The defensive linemen dominated their counterparts in a competition to see who could field the most punts at the conclusion of Sunday's Giants practice. It wasn't always pretty, but all four of the defensive players caught the football: Johnathan Hankins, Damontre Moore, Markus Kuhn and Robert Ayers Jr. Moore even supplied a short celebratory dance after running up to field his punt.

The offense was less adept and, truth be told, much more lumbering.
