Due to missing a large chunk of the 2023 campaign, a lot of people have chosen to forget just how dominant left tackle Andrew Thomas was for the NY Giants in 2022. Thomas developed into an All-Pro LT, which spoke to how much he had improved since his rookie season.

Entering the new campaign, though, Thomas hasn't been getting a ton of love. He missed most of the start of the season last fall due to a hamstring injury. That injury came in the worst way possible, as he hurt his hamstring on special teams trying to take down a Dallas player following a blocked field goal.

Now, the standout hoss is back to full health and ready to prove to everyone that he's still among the best in the game. Need further proof of that? Take a look at this clip below of Thomas going head-to-head with a Houston defensive lineman and tossing him around like he was throwing someone out of a club:

That's just sensational right there from Thomas. We don't have to tell you that the Giants offensive line needs to record a total 180 in '24. Last season under the direction of former position coach Bobby Johnson, the guys up front gave up an inexcusable 85 sucks.

It didn't matter if it was Daniel Jones, Tyrod Taylor or Tommy DeVito behind center. Whoever was running the offense was always running for their life and they didn't have enough time to scan the field to try and find an open receiver.

With Carmen Bricillo running the show for the hosses now, the expectation is that a major improvement will be showcased once Week 1 vs. the Minnesota Vikings arrives. The good news here is that we've already seen glimpses of better play throughout the preseason.

After missing seven games last campaign, Thomas is ready to rock moving forward and he's going to put the brutal year he just had behind him. It wasn't long ago that he indeed was considered a superstar in the trenches, which led to him landing a five-year, $117.5 million extension from general manager Joe Schoen. Soon enough, he'll remind all the haters out there why he landed that deal in the first place. The sequence of him dominating that poor Houston player sure is a great start.
