Evan Neal played guard for the New York Giants in Saturday’s preseason game against the New York Jets, the first time he has played there since starting 13 games at left guard for Alabama in 2019.

Neal replaced starting right guard Greg Van Roten while front-line players were still in the game for the Giants at the beginning of the second quarter. He played 32 snaps at that spot with the first- and second-team offensive lines, and acquitted himself well.

“I just have to continue to just work hard and keep the main thing the main thing. But, I was pleased with the night. It wasn’t perfect, but I was pleased,” Neal said after the game. “It’s been a while since I played guard. For my first showing as a guard in the NFL, I think it was solid.”
