Good morning, New York Giants fans!
The former 2014 second round pick for the Giants says “I’ve reached a point where my body won’t allow me to continue playing and competing at a high level.”
Thomas was the first tackle taken in the 2020 NFL Draft and the No. 1 ranked player at the position on PFF’s Big Board. Still, he struggled compared to the rest of his peers, who hit the ground running with almost unprecedented success.
Thomas needed to have some of his technique reworked for the NFL, and with no preseason to get that accomplished, it meant that he was learning on the job against NFL competition.
