Andrew Thomas of the New York Giants, a former first-round pick, made headlines in 2022 with a stellar performance as a left tackle, earning himself a second-team All-Pro designation and a lucrative five-year, $117.5 million contract extension. However, injuries have plagued his career, causing him to miss significant time, including a dreaded Lisfranc injury that limited him to just six games last season. As a result, Thomas has slipped to No. 15 in Pro Football Focus’ latest tackle rankings, with his overall grade dropping after previously ranking third in 2022.

Despite his challenges, Thomas has shown promise during the offseason, with GM Joe Schoen expressing optimism about his recovery from injury. Coach Brian Daboll has also noted a cautious approach to Thomas’s training, aiming for a full recovery. The Giants have bolstered their offensive line by adding depth with new signings, indicating they are preparing for Thomas's eventual return.
