Giants’ Will Hernandez working toward bounce-back 2021 season at RG

Experiencing a hindered development as a young offensive lineman; catching COVID-19 in the middle of the season; returning to the team only to see your starting left guard job in the hands of a rookie.

Will Hernandez underwent a 2020 campaign he probably would like to put in the rearview. It was during that very season he became a reserve guard on what was a mediocre-at-best offensive line.

This offseason, however, the Giants made right guard Kevin Zeitler a cap casualty and parted ways with the veteran in March. The roster move opened up a potential spot for Hernandez and may pave the way for a career resurgence, but is the fourth-year player ready to assume responsibility at a guard position not on his primary side?
