Draft Week: Top OL Candidates
By author
Anthony Castonzo
OT, Boston College
Costanza like George? Close but no cigar. But seriously for all Seinfeld fans out there — would you not love to have a player on the NY Giants with a name like Castonzo? I know I would. But I digress… having a last name similar to one of the greatest characters in television history aside, Anthony Castonzo would be a tremendous fit for the NY Giants. He’s a high character guy, a natural left tackle with great technique, and with Tom Coughlin’s ties to Boston College one would think this is an ideal matchup for both parties, especially if the Giants wanted some new competition at an already competitive position. If Castonzo is still available at 19 the Giants would be extremely interested.
