Former CU Buffs kicker Mason Crosby crushes 52-yard field goal in New York Giants debut

There’s still plenty of juice left in Mason Crosby’s 39-year-old right leg.

Only three days after signing, Crosby debuted with the New York Giants during their Christmas Day game and drilled a 52-yarder in his first field goal attempt. The former Colorado kicker also made both of his extra-point opportunities in the Giants’ 33-25 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Crosby, who spent the previous 16 years with the Green Bay Packers, wore No. 21 for the Giants, a jersey number that has recently taken on some meaning for Colorado fans with Deion Sanders now in Boulder.

If Crosby desires to play another year in the NFL, his impressive debut with the Giants should certainly help him land somewhere before next fall.

At Colorado, Crosby was a two-time First-Team All-American and left Boulder as the school’s all-time scoring leader (307 points).
