Graham Gano was automatic

Graham Gano told reporters earlier this week that he was completely healthy and ready to make a dent for the Giants’ special teams unit, and if Friday’s performance was any indication, he’s not kidding.

Gano was easily the Giants’ best and most consistent player during the scrimmage, going 6-of-6 on his field goal attempts, including one from beyond 50 yards.

The veteran kicker also connected on all of his point after attempts.

“It’s been very smooth. Riley (Dixon) and Casey (Kreiter) have been very good with the operation. It’s been really surprising how quickly we have picked it up,” Gano told reporters on Thursday. “It was nice to be behind a line of scrimmage again. It’s fun, this is what I enjoy doing. It’s nice to be back playing football again.”
