The New York Giants have position battles set to occur at two different positions during training camp. Center and right tackle haven’t been solidified just yet, but offensive line coach Marc Colombo believes former undrafted free agent Nick Gates leads the pack at center. The Giants currently have a Shane Lemieux, who was drafted in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL draft, Spencer Pulley, and Jon Halapio.
None of the options available provide much optimism at the position, and while Gates hasn’t played a live rep at center before, his success at both right tackle and right guard in 2019 promotes his transition.
