NY Giants LT Andrew Thomas

The No. 4 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Thomas has taken plenty of criticism since arriving in New York to protect Daniel Jones.

Some of that has been justified, forced into a starting role when Nate Solder opted out; Thomas struggled very early on and rebounded towards the end of the year.

Thomas eventually allowed 10 sacks on the year, but finished strong.

With the experience under his belt the expectations are even higher this year. With a very poor preseason which saw Thomas show bad form allowing himself to be out of position and get beat easily, the criticism has started again.

The NY Giants had their pick of lineman in 2020 and they felt Thomas was the best. Blessed with very long arms but not quickest feet, if Giants offensive line coach Rob Sale can teach Thomas to use those arms to his best interest consistently Thomas has a Pro Bowl ceiling.
