Which undrafted free agent is most likely to make his way to the New York Giants’ 53-man roster in 2026? When I put that question to Nick Baumgardner, draft analyst for The Athletic, during a recent ‘Valentine’s Views’ podcast, I received an interesting answer.
Dominic Zvada , the former Michigan placekicker. “Dominic Zvada from Michigan was one of the kickers who I thought had a chance to be drafted,” Baumgardner said. “Big 10 kicker of the year in 2024.
Wasn’t as good last year. missed a few more I think, but I think he only missed one field goal in 2024 and they used him a ton. So he is really good.
He would be one that I wouldn’t be surprised. “I don’t know exactly what their kicking situation is there, but he is a very good player. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s someone who makes some noise.
