Offensive line (8)

Andrew Thomas, Shane Lemieux, Nick Gates, Will Hernandez, Matt Peart, Nate Solder, Zach Fulton, Jonotthan Harrison

There’s a chance that some competition develops along the interior of the NY Giants’ offensive line, but if OTAs and minicamp are any indication, the line is largely set.

Solder returns after opting out last season, and will likely serve as the NY Giants’ swing-tackle and provide veteran leadership behind the scenes. Meanwhile, Fulton and Harrison have experience and versatility playing all three interior spots, which could prove a rock-solid insurance policy on center Nick Gates possibly regressing or Lemieux not making strides in his second season.
