To put it bluntly, Evan Neal has been as disappointing as a player can be since he entered the NFL in 2022. The New York Giants invested heavily in the All-American coming out of Alabama, banking on his size and pedigree to fortify the right side of their offensive line opposite Andrew Thomas.
But instead of finding a franchise cornerstone, the G-Men were served déjà vu, and not the good kind, like we’re seeing with Malik Nabers and Odell Beckham Jr. Neal’s struggles felt eerily reminiscent of the failed Ereck Flowers experiment: slow feet, poor leverage, and allowing pressure after pressure off the edge.
