As the Super Bowl is set to take place, the New York Giants are in full offseason mode, but Myles Garrett’s shocking trade request has sent fans into a frenzy. While most of the focus has been on how Garrett’s potential departure from the Cleveland Browns could impact the NFL Draft, Giants offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor took a moment to react in a way that was both telling and, unintentionally, hilarious.
Eluemunor took to X and posted, “Have a gut feeling me and AT bout to play Myles twice a year lol.” By “AT,” he was, of course, referring to franchise left tackle Andrew Thomas and insinuating Garrett could be on his way to the NFC East. But there was one very noticeable omission—Evan Neal.

Neal, the former No. 7 overall pick in 2022, has spent three seasons trying (and failing) to lock down a starting role. And if Eluemunor’s tweet is any indication, the Giants’ own offensive line might not even be factoring him into their 2025 plans.
Jermaine Eluemunor just told Giants fans everything about Evan Neal
This wasn’t just some innocent oversight. Eluemunor, a veteran lineman who recently signed with the Giants last offseason, clearly expects to be the team’s starting right tackle next season. That in itself speaks volumes. Neal was drafted to be the long-term bookend opposite Thomas, but his struggles have been well-documented—poor technique, injuries, and a general inability to hold up in pass protection have plagued his young career.
It’s one thing for fans and analysts to express doubt about Neal’s future, but when your own teammates don’t even acknowledge you in a tweet about facing an elite pass rusher like Garrett? That’s about as brutal as it gets. This wasn’t just a case of Eluemunor forgetting someone’s name—he’s in the trenches every day with these guys. He knows exactly who’s playing where, and if he genuinely saw Neal as the right tackle moving forward, he would’ve mentioned him.
Instead, he basically confirmed what most Giants fans have been saying for a while now—Neal is definitely not the guy. Not yet, and probably not ever. If the Giants saw Neal as their unquestioned starter, Eluemunor’s tweet wouldn’t be raising so many eyebrows. But the reality is, it wasn’t a misinterpretation at all. It was just a blatantly honest assessment of where things stand.
Maybe this is the wake-up call Neal needs. Maybe he will fight his way back into the lineup and prove everyone wrong. But for now, his own offensive line room just told us everything we need to know about how he's viewed in the locker room. If Garrett lands in the NFC East, we already know who Eluemunor expects to handle him—and who he doesn’t.
