New York Giants Banking on Seventh Round Pick to Pan Out at Right Tackle

One of the more exciting position battles for the New York Giants heading into the 2019 season will be at right tackle. The current starter, Chad Wheeler, was an undrafted free agent out of USC, and he was the featured player in 2018 after Bobby Hart took his lack of talent over to the Cincinnati Bengals.

However, the Giants have finally created a bit of competition at the position, adding George Asafo-Adjei out of Kentucky. The 6’5″, 315-pound tackle will be thrown into the mix, but it’s Wheeler’s job to lose at this point. Unless GM Dave Gettleman goes out and signs a player like Mike Remmers, it’s seeming like the RT position will be a toss-up, which is not entirely a good thing.
