Greg Van Roten has the Edge at Right Guard

3 weeks ago

New York Giants offensive guard Greg Van Roten returns to the team in 2025 after starting all 17 games a year ago, but he will likely have to compete to keep his starting right-guard job, and The Athletic's Charlotte Carroll thinks the top competition might come from former starting right tackle Evan Neal. Neal, a former first-rounder in 2022, has struggled with injuries and poor play and has appeared in just 29 games in three NFL seasons. However, he could receive a chance to jump-start his career with a position change. But if he continues to struggle, he could be on the roster bubble after having his fifth-year option declined. Rookie fifth-rounder Marcus Mbow could also move inside to guard, but the Giants will have him start his NFL career at tackle. Carroll thinks it's fair to say that Van Roten has the edge on any competition heading into OTAs.
