3.) Andrew Thomas

Giants’ rookie tackle Andrew Thomas has had a tough start to his NFL career, currently earning a 55.5 overall grade on the season, per PFF. He has allowed one sack over 183 offensive snaps.

We have seen good and bad from the young tackle, with his counterpart Mekhi Becton looking far better early on. However, the Giants have had tough match-ups weekly. His induction into the NFL has been by fire, facing off against Bud Dupree, Khalil Mack, Robert Quinn, and Arik Armstead.

Things won’t get easier against Aaron Donald in week four, as the Rams have been using Donald across the defensive line this season. Thomas has the skill set to become a fantastic left tackle in the NFL, but his inception hasn’t been a smooth ride. A year of experience under his belt will do wonders, but he has been susceptible to inside moves. Relying on his fundamentals is a priority, and he has plenty of time to find his groove.
