With the 4th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the New York Giants selected Georgia Bulldogs offensive tackle Andrew Thomas.
Thomas at No. 4 came following the selections of Joe Burrow to the Bengals, Chase Young to the Redskins and Jeff Okudah to the Lions.
Thomas had been considered the top offensive tackle of this draft class all offseason, and on Thursday the Giants confirmed that by making him the top tackle off the board.
Thomas becomes the second consecutive Georgia player selected in the first round by the Giants. Last year, New York took former Georgia cornerback Deandre Baker with the 30th pick.
Twitter blew up with the selection, and we have some of the reactions here:
