With training camp just around the corner, we here at Pro Football 366 want to take a look at the potential starters for each team. Today’s team: The New York Giants.

Check out the Projected Giants Offensive Starters here.

Kicker- Josh Brown

Josh Brown had a solid season last year kicking for the Giants. He made 23/26 FG attempts and all of his extra point attempts. He also nailed 35 touchbacks on 70 kickoffs. Barring an injury he will be the Giants kicker next season.

Punter- Steve Weatherford

Steve Weatherford was busy last season. The Giants spiraling offense led to many punts and Steve Weatherford turned out to be one of the lone bright spots on the Giants last season. He is also a very good holder on field goals. I look forward to many punts inside the twenty this season from Weatherford.

Long Snapper- Zak DeOssie

Zak DeOssie has been an excellent long snapper for the Giants for many years. He is always the first one down to make a tackle on punts and he is the captain of the special teams unit. Zak DeOssie is a true New York Giant.

Kick Returner- Trindon Holliday

Trindon Holliday has been a force to be reckoned with on special teams the past few seasons. He does have a fumbling problem which would drive Tom Coughlin mad but if he could get them under control then he will make this team and be the kick returner.

Punt Returner- Odell Beckham Jr. 

One of the many intangibles that Odell Beckham Jr. brings to the table is his ability to return kicks and punts. He has good speed and in college he constantly put the LSU offense in good field position to score.
