Headlined by Daniel Jones, Andrew Thomas and Dexter Lawrence, the Giants have a developing core they can build around.
: It's almost hard to believe how many critics and skeptics the 6-foot-5, 315-pounder had during his rookie season. There were scouts who were stunned Gettleman made him the top tackle off the board in a tackle-rich draft, taking him fourth overall in 2020. And when he struggled as a rookie and dealt with a series of injuries, some thought he had the potential to be a bust.
"Thomas isn't quite as nimble as some of the elite athletes playing left tackle in the NFL but he's as dependable and battle-tested as it gets, winning with mass, power, technique and grit. He's steady in pass protection, gets consistent movement in the running game and takes the game seriously. The steady improvement shown by Thomas is no surprise.
"What's impressive about him is how much he creates the pressure for himself," said one NFC scout."As a rookie, he had no help off the edge. He was all they had and he still got eight sacks. Last year they finally had on the other edge and look what happened when he came back . It's not clear, though, how far and high the Giants will go to keep McKinney. They said nice things a year ago about safety Julian Love, a popular leader in the locker room, before they barely flinched as he signed just a two-year, $12 million deal with Seattle. In an era where the top contracts for safeties have exploded — but only the top contracts — safety just doesn't seem to be a position of high priority for the Giants.
