After the Giants utilized their prestigious No. 4 overall draft pick on then-Georgia offensive tackle Andrew Thomas last year, the initial belief was that he would perform on the right side of the line while veteran Nate Solder manned Daniel Jones‘ blindside.
Nevertheless, that changed when Solder opted out of the 2020 campaign due to coronavirus concerns. Thomas played his rookie season at the ever-important left tackle spot, and ahead of the new campaign, keeping him there would be in the team’s best interest. It’s understandable to not want to move him now and risk hindering his development in his supposed long-term role.
