"Harbaugh was the Philadelphia Eagles' special teams coordinator for nine seasons. Strong special teams were then a staple for his teams in Baltimore, where even as a veteran head coach he was known for fairly regularly sitting in on special teams meetings."
"The Giants finished 25th in special teams EPA last season at minus-20.78. They are 26th in special teams EPA since general manager Joe Schoen took over in 2022."
"Harbaugh came to New York and made it a priority to bring special teams coordinator Chris Horton with him from Baltimore. He even added assistant head coach to Horton's title to make it happen after the Ravens initially blocked a request for an interview."
"The Giants signed All-Pro punter Jordan Stout from the Ravens to a record contract on the first day of free agency. They then added former All-Pro kicker Jason Sanders and eventually signed veteran long-snapper Zach Triner earlier this week, completing the clean sweep of specialists."
The New York Giants focus on enhancing their special teams after a poor performance last season. Coach John Harbaugh, with a strong background in special teams, prioritized bringing in specialists. The team signed All-Pro punter Jordan Stout, former All-Pro kicker Jason Sanders, and veteran long-snapper Zach Triner. They also added safety Elijah Campbell and linebacker Cam Jones, both known for their special teams prowess. The Giants aim to improve their special teams ranking, which has been low since the current general manager took over.
