4 pleasant surprises for the NY Giants through 3 games

2. Andrew Thomas has solidified himself as one of the best in the NFL
Once again, the Giants offensive line has looked shaky at times. Rookie right tackle Evan Neal is going through growing pains, and this has impacted nearly the rest of the offensive line.
But third-year left tackle Andrew Thomas has remained solid. And he has quietly become one of the best offensive tackles in the game.
Through the first three games, Thomas has a PFF offensive grade of 90.1. This is the best of any tackle in the NFL. Along with his success, Thomas has been a dominating presence for the offensive line. Over 206 offensive snaps, Thomas has allowed zero sacks and has been called for zero penalties.
In a time where every team is looking for a franchise-altering left tackle, the Giants have seemed to find that in Thomas. And at just 25 years old, he could be an integral piece of this o-line for a while. When Neal can find his footing at right tackle, the Giants could potentially have two of the top tackles in the NFL for the foreseeable future.
