The New York Giants will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles in what will be a pointless game in week 17, for some, but for others, it could be the difference between earning starting money in 2020 or falling into the reserves. For offensive lineman, Nick Gates, he’s fighting for an opportunity to earn a starting spot on the line as right tackle Mike Remmers will inventively depart after his one-year deal expires.
As an undrafted free agent in 2018, Gates was brought to East Rutherford to develop his skills with the hope he would become a contributor down the line.
