It’s been one challenge after another for Andrew Thomas. At 21 years old, he entered the league with the expectation that he would immediately become the New York Giants‘ starting right tackle, with a lost offseason amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Of course, that’s until Nate Solder opted out, a decision that moved Thomas to the more crucial and superior left tackle spot.
The Giants’ early-season opponents didn’t exactly introduce him to the simplest of tasks either. Ahead of Week 6, Thomas has already received the noteworthy responsibility of facing DeMarcus Lawrence, Bud Dupree, Aaron Donald, and Khalil Mack, with Washington edge rusher Chase Young on deck this Sunday.
