No one would be surprised if they heard a first-round pick of the New York Giants from the SEC caught a touchdown pass.
What is stunning, though, is that it wasn’t Kadarius Toney, their 2021 top pick out of Florida.
Due to numerous injuries to the receiving corps, OC Jason Garrett had to reach deep into his bag of tricks in the second quarter Monday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Daniel Jones threw a TD pass, all right.
The receiver was 2020 first-round choice out of Georgia, Andrew Thomas.
ANDREW THOMAS.
WHAT A CATCH BY THE BIG MAN. #TogetherBlue @allforgod_55

The former Dawg goes all of 6-foot-5 and 320 pounds and has plenty of hops. He reeled in the pass for a 2-yard TD.

This upped Thomas’ NFL point total to 8. He caught a pass for a 2-point conversion as a rookie in 2020.
Rookie LT Andrew Thomas catches the 2-point conversion! #TogetherBlue
