2.) Nick Gates has won the center position battle
The Giants had high hopes for Nick Gates on the offensive line this year, after a successful rookie campaign at right guard and right tackle. He filled in with injuries present and was serviceable at both positions. However, he prefers the interior, and the Giants elected to grant his wish, moving him to the center position. He beat out veteran Spencer Pulley for the starting job, and the Giants also released Jon Halapio over the weekend, further great cementing his spot.
Gates is extremely talented and was an undrafted free agent from Nebraska. He is another Dave Gettleman gem, improving his success rate on offensive linemen over the years. Hopefully, Gates will lock down the center position for years to come on an extremely cheap contract.
