Evan Neal had no shot at beating North Carolina State’s Ickey Ekwonu when his turn came to speak to media Thursday morning at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine.
Ekwonu knocked his media session out of the park, or more precisely out of the Indiana Convention Center, displaying an outgoing personality that would make him an immediate media darling if he were to be drafted by the New York Giants.
Neal, though, a mountainous offensive tackle from Alabama, might beat Ekwonu to the podium in the 2022 NFL Draft. He was impressive Thursday in his own way.
