"Neal signed a one-year, minimum-salary deal with the team that took him seventh overall in the 2022 NFL draft, a source told ESPN. New coach John Harbaugh is giving him a clean slate and another opportunity, willing to wipe away the past in hope of unearthing untapped talent."
"Neal has played in 29 games (27 starts) since being selected in the top 10 of the 2022 NFL draft. His career pass block win rate of 82.9% would rank dead last among all qualifiers during that span."
"Despite not dressing on a weekly basis, Neal landed on injured reserve in November with a hamstring injury. He had a window opened for his return but was shut down several days later because of back/neck soreness. His season ended without being activated."
The New York Giants re-signed offensive lineman Evan Neal to a one-year, minimum-salary contract despite his poor performance over four seasons. Neal, selected seventh overall in the 2022 NFL draft from Alabama, struggled significantly at tackle before being moved to guard. He was a healthy scratch for most of the previous season and eventually landed on injured reserve with hamstring and back/neck issues. New coach John Harbaugh is providing Neal a clean slate opportunity. Neal's career pass block win rate ranks last among qualifiers at 82.9%. His tenure included off-field controversies, including critical comments about fans booing the team.
