Georgia Bulldogs offensive tackle Andrew Thomas was selected fourth overall by the New York Giants. Thomas declared for the NFL Draft as a junior and is now the highest picked offensive lineman in Georgia history.
Andrew Thomas passes Royce Smith (sixth overall pick) as the earliest selected UGA offensive lineman ever:
Thomas is an extremely talented prospect. He joins Isaiah Wynn as the second Georgia offensive lineman to be drafted in the first round in the past three seasons. Both Thomas and Wynn played on the same offensive line that helped Georgia make the 2018 College Football Playoff.
The New York Giants get their left tackle in Andrew Thomas. Thomas will be GM Dave Gettleman’s latest hog molly.
In college, Thomas went up against elite competition in the SEC. Thomas has blocked numerous players who will or are in the NFL including Alabama’s Quinnen Williams, Kentucky’s Josh Allen, LSU’s K’Lavon Chaisson, and many more.
Thomas has NFL size and durability. He started three seasons at UGA and will look to bring that consistency to the Giants. He only missed one game due to injury. Thomas excels in both the pass and run game.
