5 first-round prospects for Giants fans to watch at the NFL Combine

3. Joe Alt

To many, no school is more consistent at producing excellent offensive linemen than the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Ronnie Stanley, Zach Martin, and Quenton Nelson are just a few examples. This year, and next in line, is Joe Alt, and he is hoping for a big NFL Combine performance to fully concrete himself as the first offensive tackle taken in the draft.

Alt, a 6-8, 322-pounder certainly does not lack in the size department. Alt checks all the boxes from a size and athleticism standpoint when looking for a cornerstone tackle. What's interesting about Alt is how he became so quick for such a big guy. Having had his father, John Alt, be a successful NFL offensive lineman himself and starting his high school football career as a tight end - it is clear that the younger Alt moves far better than he should at his size.

While not the "sexy" pick that fans always want, solidifying the offensive line is a recipe for success in today's NFL. With so much chatter about the skill position players, don't be shocked if a crazy Combine performance leaves the media talking about the big fellas after this weekend.
