5 bold predictions for the NY Giants offense in 2023
By Zak Musso
2. Evan Neal has a Pro Bowl campaign
Evan Neal’s rookie season was a serious struggle. Neal committed 27 penalties, tied for the 27th most in football, allowed seven sacks, tied for seventh most in football, and was given a porous 44.1 overall grade by PFF. Despite all that, Neal is in line for a massive sophomore leap,
Neal played right tackle for the Giants last season, a position he is still learning. The Alabama product played just one season at right tackle in college. Neal had some difficulties with his footwork last fall, but has had an entire offseason to watch the film and correct those mistakes.
After all, there is a reason Neal was the seventh overall pick in the 2022 draft. He is a physical freak, standing at 6-7, 350 pounds. He also has a full six-pack of abs, which is incredibly rare for an offensive lineman. The Giants offensive line is significantly better than it was a year ago, especially along the interior, which will take a lot of pressure of Neal on the outside.
