8. Andrew Thomas (New York Giants)
Highest ranking: 5 | Lowest ranking: Unranked
Age: 27 | Last year’s ranking: 10
After battling injuries in recent years, Thomas had a banner season for New York. His 77.7% run block win rate ranked second among players in our top 10, helping the Giants produce the fifth-ranked rushing attack. He’s considered one of the most well-rounded tackles and a cornerstone player when healthy.
“A big factor with tackles is how much you can trust them in passing-down situations against the best, often on an island, and Thomas can handle that,” an NFL coordinator said. “Not many can.”
