Whoever is brought in as the next GM of the Giants will have to address several spots on their starting offensive line, perhaps all but left tackle Andrew Thomas.
As the maligned unit has disintegrated around him, the fourth-overall pick in the 2020 draft has made a quantum leap in his second NFL season, rising from the 55th-ranked tackle in the league against the pass as a rookie, according to Pro Football Focus, to No. 8 this year.
“Everybody knows that he’s a talented player. But there’s a lot of talent out there that doesn’t really get there. Andrew’s done a good job on a consistent basis. You know what you’re going to get when you put Andrew out there.”Kitchens and first-year offensive line coach Rob Sale have continued to deal with many unknowns in terms of personnel, including season-ending injuries to starters Nick Gates and Shane Lemieux.
“We try to preach a next man up mentality and do the best we can. A lot of other teams are dealing with injuries and COVID and playing good ball. We just have to make sure we’re doing our technique and playing together.” “But when you turn on the tape and you watch him, that’s what I like. I don’t care what a guy [says]. Some guys speak more or have better leadership skills than others, but I know what I’m going to get every single day with Andrew Thomas and I’m perfectly fine with that. When that ball is snapped, he plays.”
