The New York Giants drafted right tackle Evan Neal with the seventh overall pick in the draft last offseason. Neal went on to have a tumultuous rookie season, struggling to adjust to the pro game and being hampered by a mid-season MCL injury. Despite his early-career struggles, it is unfair to label Neal a bust after just one season. Yet, some fans and analysts believe that label might be justified.
According to Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report, Evan Neal is one of the many young players in the NFL that are “dangerously close to bust status” entering the 2023 offseason.
