As we meander our way through our player-by-player profiles of the New York Giants 90-man roster, some are obviously more important than others. Today, we reach one of the interesting, important ones as the Giants shape their 2018 53-man roster. That would be fourth-year offensive tackle Ereck Flowers.
The 2015 first-round pick (No. 9 overall) has long been a much-maligned player. To many, he is a symbol of the inability under then-GM Jerry Reese to get the offensive line right no matter how many resources the Giants threw at a position that has been a problem pretty much since the team last won a Super Bowl in the 2011 season.
