Adam Bisnowaty is an offensive lineman with an edge to him. He doesn’t back down from challenges in pass or run protection, plays a physical game, and has the athleticism to play multiple positions.

Bisnowaty may end up being better suited to play guard in the NFL, but the talent level is clearly there and the upside is worth exploring.

Bisnowaty is the type of player who will play through the whistle, which is exactly what the Giants need along the offensive line. Far too often in 2016, Eli Manning and the running backs were taken down in the backfield because of a lackluster effort by the offensive line.

No matter what flaws he may have, effort will be guaranteed from Bisnowaty every time he takes the field.

Bisnowaty could end up being New York’s selection due to the fact that he’s widely projected to be an early third-round draft pick. If he slides to the end of Round 2 or Round 3, it could be worth giving him a chance to come in and earn a starting role.

Whether he plays guard or tackle, Bisnowaty has the mental makeup and physicality to be an effective offensive lineman.
