OUR FOUNDER
Before entering the NFL, Andrew Thomas was a standout at the University of Georgia, where he started all 41 games over three seasons and established himself as a consistent leader on the field. His performance earned him recognition as one of the nation’s top offensive linemen and led to his selection as the fourth overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft by the New York Giants. Since joining the Giants, Thomas has become a team captain, appearing in 55 games and starting 54 across his first four seasons.
He went on to start a majority of the team’s games over the next two years, barring one game in 2020 and an injury in 2021. After overcoming early challenges, Thomas had a breakout year in 2022, starting 18 games and earning second-team All-Pro honors while helping lead the Giants to their first playoff appearance since 2016.
In July 2023, the Giants secured Thomas with a five-year contract extension, a record-setting deal for an offensive lineman. The 2023 season presented challenges, as Thomas suffered a hamstring injury in the opener, limiting him to 10 games.
Despite this setback, he maintained elite performance levels, allowing just four sacks and 17 pressures over 376 pass-blocking snaps. In 2024, Thomas's season was cut short due to a Lisfranc foot injury, requiring surgery and sidelining him for the remainder of the year. Demonstrating resilience, Thomas has been committed to his rehabilitation, expressing optimism about his recovery and the team's future.
