2021:
Starters: Andrew Thomas, Shane Lemieux, Nick Gates, Will Hernandez, Matt Peart

Analysis:

This will be the NY Giants position group under the most pressure in 2021. 

This group will swim or sink with the entire Giants’ season. After years and years of poor play up front, it’s time this group puts on a proud product for the New York area.

Kevin Zeitler was released, leaving a massive hole at right guard. The Giants will look to Lemieux or Hernandez to likely win the starting spot. The starting right tackle gig will be an open competition between Peart, the returning Nate Solder, and likely another draft pick or veteran free agent.

It’s put up or shut up time for the hogmollies in 2021.
