New York Giants 2017 Roster Preview: Offensive Linemen
By Sean Dyer
As we inch closer to the start of the NFL regular season, we break down each position on the New York Giants roster. The offensive line has given Big Blue trouble in recent years but here’s the group that will look to protect Eli Manning in 2017.
The New York Giants currently have 13 offensive linemen on their roster. Big Blue will likely keep eight or nine linemen when roster cuts come around.
The Gmen have struggled to protect Eli Manning in years past but if they want Eli to stay healthy and continue to be their quarterback for the next few years, they’ll have to keep him upright.
Despite having offensive line issues in 2016, the Giants didn’t do a whole lot to improve the group this offseason. Their starting five could look very similar to last year’s with a few changes in their reserves.
New York will be relying on the development of the offensive linemen they had last year in order to give Eli time to find all of his offensive weapons.
We’ll take a look at each OL and predict which ones will make the final 53-man roster.
