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.
There will be a new punter for the Giants this season, as following the 2017 debacle they parted ways with Brad Wing after three years. They traded with the Broncos on April 20 to obtain Riley Dixon for a conditional 2019 seventh-round draft pick.
Dixon punted at Syracuse, and the past two years with the Broncos he averaged 45.7 yards on 162 kicks, although he did not grade out especially well in terms of putting punts down inside the 20 and hang time.
