Justin Pugh came ‘straight off the couch’ to try and help the New York Giants’ flailing offensive line in the middle of the 2023 NFL season.
Pugh did that in a lot of intangible ways. He showed a team-first mentality, willingly moving to left tackle when needed despite not having played there since 2015, and not having played tackle at all since 2017. He was lauded for his leadership and ability to bring the offensive linemen closer together as the line play improved in the back half of the season.
In tangible ways, meaning his actual play on the field, how much did Pugh help the Giants?
