Evan Neal entered the NFL with a reputation forged in the SEC, where he earned All‑America honors at Alabama and versatile experience across the offensive line.
A Draft Pick With High Hopes
Selected seventh overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, the former Crimson Tide standout was expected to contribute immediately for the New York Giants, a team that had watched its offensive line struggle in recent seasons.
During his rookie season he appeared in 29 games, starting 27 of them at various positions along the line, but the following year he saw no action on the field, a silence that spoke louder than any statistic.
Roster Cuts and a Release
After the Giants trimmed their roster ahead of the 2023 campaign, Neal found himself among the names removed from the active list, ending a brief but eventful stint in the league.
Now a free agent, the former Alabama lineman looks to rebuild his career, hoping to prove that the talent that earned him collegiate acclaim can translate into sustained professional success.
