The New York Giants are expected to sign cornerback Darnay Holmes, offensive lineman Shane Lemieux and linebacker Cam Brown on Thursday, but they won’t be the only ones.
In addition to that trio, Jordan Raanan of ESPN reports that the Giants have also agreed to terms with third-round offensive tackle Matt Peart.
The 6-foot-7, 318-pound Peart is the living, breathing definition of “hog molly.” His arms were measured as the longest at the NFL Combine (36 5/8”) and he’s extremely athletic for his size. And although he’s considered a developmental tackle, Peart has an extremely high ceiling and with the right coaching, could become a long-term answer at right tackle.
“Growing up I always wanted to be a Giant. And now I get to put on the blue,” Peart said during an April conference call. “It still feels so surreal to me.”
Peart is not expected to start for the Giants in 2020, but could eventually take over the job at right tackle when Nate Solder departs and Andrew Thomas is moved over to left tackle.
