For several months signs have pointed toward Evan Neal transitioning from right tackle to guard for the New York Giants. A post from Paul Schwartz of the New York Post confirms that is indeed what will happen when the Giants begin OTAs next week.
After three difficult seasons at right tackle, the No. 7 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft will line up at right guard this spring. If he shows an aptitude for the position, perhaps he could supplant 35-year-old Greg Van Roten as the starter at that spot.
That would allow the Giants to get some return on investment for picking Neal so early in the draft.
