The New York Giants are depending on second-year RT Evan Neal to take a huge leap in 2023. As a rookie last season, Neal struggled to find his footing in the NFL. However, it is far too soon to Neal off as a bust; a lesson the Giants learned recently with LT Andrew Thomas.
Thomas is another player who struggled to adjust to playing offensive tackle in the NFL as a rookie. But since his disappointing 2020 rookie campaign, Thomas has blossomed into one of the best offensive tackles in the league. Big Blue is hoping for a similar career trajectory from Neal, the seventh overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
