As part of The Post’s 2021 NFL Draft preview, we examine what the Giants might do at each position. Saturday: Specialist.

The Giants are set with their kicking game. They had little margin for error in 2020, considering they averaged just 17.5 points a game, 31st in the NFL. That they managed to win six games was a credit to their defense and also a byproduct of just how great kicker Graham Gano was in his first season with the team.

Gano, 34, pulled off an incredible feat, actually increasing in leg strength and accuracy 11 years into his pro career. Gano hit 31 of 32 field goal attempts and — get this — he went 5-for-6 on kicks of 50 or more yards. Gano also had 30 touchbacks. It is no wonder the Giants, before the season came to an end, signed Gano to a three-year, $14 million contract extension. What made this excellence even more remarkable is that Gano missed the entire 2019 season with the Panthers with a left knee injury.

Punter Riley Dixon, after a strong 2019 showing, was uneven in 2020. He finished 23rd in the league with a gross punting average of 44.8 and a net average of 38.8. He was strong in ball placement, tied for third in the league with 28 kicks inside the 20-yard line. Finding someone to challenge Dixon this summer is certainly a possibility.

Casey Kreiter returns as the long-snapper. In the return game, the Giants were sub-par in 2020. The addition of speedy John Ross in free agency could help. The Giants will look to add players with special teams value on Day 3 of the draft.
