New York Giants OT Andrew Thomas’ former coach baffled by rookie’s performance

Some believed offensive tackle Andrew Thomas could’ve fixed many of the New York Giants‘ hog mollie-related issues when he was taken No. 4 overall in April. Others, however, believed the Giants made a mistake with that pick and should’ve gone with someone like Tristan Wirfs (Buccaneers) or Jedrick Wills (Browns).

The latter group is now smirking. With seven games having been played, Thomas has mightily struggled and is certainly the worst of this year’s first-round tackles, to the point where his former coach is even baffled.

Former NFL offensive line coach Paul Alexander worked with Thomas leading up to the draft and couldn’t believe his eyes when witnessing his performance against the Eagles last Thursday.
