New York Giants: Former Derry Under-20s player Jude McAtamney makes his NFL debut for New York Giants

Former Derry Under-20 GAA player Jude McAtamney is making his NFL debut for the New York Giants against the Washington Commanders on Sunday.

Former Derry Under-20 GAA player Jude McAtamney made his NFL debut for the New York Giants in their 27-22 loss to the Washington Commanders on Sunday.

Prior to Sunday, McAtamney had spent the season on the Giants' practice squad, utilising the extra spot created by the International Player Pathway , but was elevated to the active roster for the week nine clash after previous kicker Greg Joseph was ruled out with an abdomen injury. He made sufficiently quick progress to be offered a scholarship to study at Chowan University in North Carolina in 2021, before transferring to Rutgers a year later then signing with the Giants as an undrafted free agent this spring.
