New York Giants 2024 Training Camp Preview: LS Casey Kreiter

This decade of New York Giants football has been defined by inconsistency. There is, however, a welcome exception … even if, in true modern metropolitan football fashion, it comes when the team settles for either a punt or field goal.

Casey Kreiter will return for a fourth season as the Giants’ long snapper. The best thing one can say about Kreiter’s tenure is that it has been rather boring, carrying on in the tradition of predecessor Zak DeOssie–and that’s a good thing. 

The 2018 Pro Bowler (Kreiter) has played four clean seasons since coming over in 2020, and he even put up a career-best four tackles last year. That impressed the Giants enough to bring Kreiter back on another one-year deal, and he should be a strong building block for new special teams coordinator Michael Ghobrial to work with.

Kreiter’s most notable 2023 offering from a broad perspective was the fact his jersey enjoyed a bit of a makeover: having worn Carl Banks’ No. 58 for his first two metropolitan tours, he moved up one so that linebacker Bobby Okereke could have prior digits.

Otherwise, Kreiter did what was expected of him, living up to the relative superhero nature of his profession, where anonymity rules. Set to embark on his fifth season in blue, he’s becoming one of the most familiar faces in modern Giants history. 

Collegiate and professional teammate Dane Belton, who joined the special teams group after taking over the personal protector role, praised Kreiter’s leadership after working with him on a more personal basis last season.

“Casey is the one guy who can coach every spot to perfection, top to bottom. He’s seen so many looks. He’s really a coach on the field. He’s the guy,” the fellow former Hawkeye told Newsday last season.

“He’s a professional’s professional. He takes pride in everything he does. He leads us in the right direction. Just being able to rely on Casey to answer questions, he always knows the answer and he’s going to make sure we’re on the right page.”
