Evan Neal
OT - NYG
2022 Outlook
Expert Note
View More NotesThe Alabama tackle finished top-10 in his draft class in the lowest pressure rate allowed (2.4%) in his first season as a full-time left tackle. With Neals' mammoth size - 6-foot-7, 350 pounds - he will be a foundation piece addition to any offensive line.
His versatility and experience playing right tackle and guard will go a long way to ensuring he gets selected high in the draft.

The New York Giants have selected OL Evan Neal with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact
The Giants were going to select an offensive lineman at some point early in the draft and after going edge rusher with the fifth overall pick, Neal made all the sense in the world at seven overall. New York had their choice between Neal and Charles Cross but ultimately went with the Alabama product who has faced some of the best competition in the country during his collegiate career. Neal has played both RT and LT during the two most recent college seasons so he will provide some much needed positional flexibility for the Giants regardless of where they play him. Either way this is a huge step in the right direction for New York as they fortify one of their main offensive weaknesses and build a unit that can protect their QB, regardless of who that is going forward.
