The New York Giants‘ starting center spot contained a very competitive position battle in camp this year. Spencer Pulley has experience but the young Nick Gates is versatile and possesses a significant amount of potential, which made for a difficult decision for this mostly new staff led by rookie head coach Joe Judge.
But with the regular season approaching, the organization has ultimately decided to go with Gates, who will expand that versatility and play a position he’s never played before in the NFL.
“We’re going to start Nick Gates at center,” Judge told reporters on Saturday.
