Giants’ special teams seeking to take another step forward in 2019

The New York Giants special teams took a big leap forward in 2018, making marked improvements in their kicking and punting games as well as their return and coverage units.

Much of that has to do with coordinator Thomas McGaughey, who returned to the Giants after an eight-year odyssey that saw him coach special teams for LSU, the New York Jets, the San Francisco 49ers and the Carolina Panthers.

McGaughey is excited about the upcoming season as the Giants have added some athletic new players that he plans on using to his advantage, especially in the return game.
