STM Take
The 2025 #2 (tier 1) rebound from 2024's injury-shortened #70 confirms the Lisfranc surgery worked. The trajectory pre-injury was unambiguous (#12 in 2021, #16 in 2022, #18 in 2023), and the 2025 return to #2 tier 1 reestablishes him as a top-3 LT. At 27 with the contract through 2028, he is the cornerstone the Giants built the LT position around.
Thomas came out of Georgia as the New York Giants' 1st-round pick (4th overall) in 2020. After a rough rookie season (he gave up a league-high 10 sacks in 2020), he rebuilt his technique under Bobby Johnson's tutelage and turned into one of the league's best young LTs by his third year. He made the 2022 Pro Bowl and signed a 5-year, $117.5M extension in July 2023 that briefly made him the highest-paid LT in NFL history. A Lisfranc injury in September 2024 limited him to just 5 games (tier 8 #70 finish).
Strengths
- 2022 Pro Bowl plus the July 2023 5-year, $117.5M extension establishes franchise-cornerstone status. Three top-20 STTM finishes pre-injury (#12, #16, #18) confirms the consistency.
- Rebound from 2020 rookie struggles (league-high 10 sacks allowed) to elite LT status is a real development arc. The 2025 #2 finish after the Lisfranc recovery is meaningful proof.
Concerns
- The 2024 Lisfranc injury (limited to 5 games) is a precedent for how a single injury can derail a season. Foot injuries are recurring risks for OL.
- Giants offensive line around him remains thin; the lack of a stable RT and interior compresses the team's offensive ceiling regardless of Thomas's individual performance.
What to watch: Whether his 2026 snap share clears 95% across the first eight weeks, the threshold that confirms the Lisfranc is fully behind him.
