Holder and roommate Justin Kucek, the team's punter, on Giannini: "He is kind of a germaphobe. The bathroom has to be perfect. The best thing about him is that I can rely on him. If I am sleeping and I need to wake up, I can count on him to get me up. I can talk to him about anything. He's an all-around good guy."
