Center: Weston Richburg
The 2014 NFL Draft was a career defining moment for Jerry Reese. If he had a weak draft, then it was highly likely that he would soon be out of the job. Luckily for Giants fans, Reese had one of his best drafts in years. The draft produced three starters, Odell Beckham Jr., Devon Kennard, and Weston Richburg.
Coming into the draft, Richburg was widely viewed as the top center available. He was then drafted in the second round by none other than Big Blue. While he was thought of as the team’s next great center, the plans changed in his rookie season. Due to numerous injuries at guard, he was forced into action at guard.
Understandably, the transition to guard was a rough one. He struggled immensely and was one of the worst guards in the league.
In the 2015 season, he would move back to his natural position, center. To say that he was good in 2015 would be an understatement. He was one of the best centers in the NFL. According to PFF, he was the second-best center in the league in 2015.
This past season, he was above average, but not as good as he was in 2015. No matter what, expect to see him snapping the ball to Eli Manning in 2017.
