3 underrated moves made by the NY Giants this offseason
1. Signing Mark Glowinski
It’s hard to call this underrated, as everyone knows how good Glowinski is. We feel like some people are starting to forget how important this signing is, though. The NY Giants have not had a “good” offensive guard since they let Justin Pugh walk in free agency in 2017.
Glowinski has started every game of the last three seasons and has been very solid in said seasons, especially in the last two. While Glowinski is no Pro-Bowl guard, he is still a very, very solid starter, and a massive upgrade from Will Hernandez. Not to mention the very elite second half of the season Glowinski had last year:
One of the reasons the Giants signed Mark Glowinski to a three-year deal is because he kicked ass the entire second half of the 2021 season -- just look at his grade chart, via PFF:

We highly doubt he will maintain this level of play. However, as previously said, he is still a massive upgrade over Hernandez. The thing that has us the most excited about Glowinski is his ability as a run blocker. The Giants have been without a good run-blocking offensive lineman for quite some time now. If Glowinski can manage to at least continue his play as a great run blocker, the whole team will benefit, especially Saquon Barkley.
