It's hard to believe the New York Giants have already played four games in the 2025 season, but here we are. A quarter of the way into the season, one thing is very clear: third-year starting center John Michael Schmitz Jr. is struggling just as much ever... if not more.
The Michael Schmitz struggle bus is gassed up. It somehow looks like his play gets worse with each passing week. Pro Football Focus' advanced metrics do him dirty: 52.6 run-block grade | 55.2 pass-block grade | 52.1 overall grade, ranking 45th out of 48 eligible centers.
