2.) Cameron Fleming

Fleming is a journeyman offensive lineman, spending time with the New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys over the past six seasons. He has extensive experience at both tackle spots and offers a fantastic depth player for the Giants. In recent years, the line has struggled to impose their strength and continuity, but 2020 seems to hold a shift in narrative.

Andrew Thomas is expected to fill in at left tackle, while Nate Solder will likely move to the right side, giving them more of a foundation to work with. Having Fleming to supplement any deficiencies or injuries, the Giants can feel safe and play more aggressively. He signed a one-year deal with the Giants for $3.5 million this off-season.

A few things to note about Fleming: He is 27 years old and stands at 6-foot-5 and 320 pounds. He has experience under Jason Garrett and offensive line coach, Marc Colombo, giving him the predisposed chemistry with the coaching staff.

He also has spent time under Joe Judge as a special teams assistant and coordinator in New England. Fleming has started 10 games a piece of both left and right tackle, with postseason appearances as well. He also has Super Bowl experience in his rookie season, when the Patriots defeated Seattle six years ago.
