Andrew Thomas, Offensive Tackle

Draft Spot: #4 in 2020 NFL Draft. Selected by the NY Giants

Projected Role: Starting Left Tackle

Andrew Thomas heads into Year Two of his NFL career with something to prove in 2021.

Thomas was the first tackle taken in the 2020 Draft. There’s a good argument to be made he performed the worst out of the top four tackles in the 1st Round.

Thomas bounced back nicely from a rough first eight weeks in the NFL. Thomas adjusted his game got used to the caliber of NFL defenders and became a much more steadying force on the left side.

As Daniel Jones’ blindside protector, he is one of the most important players on the roster. His development will a key thing to watch in this offense.
