As the Giants wrapped up their 2025 draft class, Evan Neal served as a reminder that draft day promise doesn’t always pan out.

Neal was the seventh overall pick in the 2022 draft, but he’s struggled at right tackle, and general manager Joe Schoen announced Saturday night that the Giants will decline Neal’s fifth-year option.

Neal will become a free agent after this season, which is not surprising. His play has mostly underwhelmed. He lost his starting tackle job at the start of last season and regained it only after left tackle Andrew Thomas’ season-ending injury in the Giants’ sixth game.

Neal played nine games with seven starts. In 2023, injuries limited him to seven games and his struggles earned boos from fans, prompting Neal to lash out by comparing them to fast-food workers.

Schoen and coach Brian Daboll have mulled moving him over to guard, but a decision has yet to be made publicly.

“We have an idea of what we’re going to do, but it’ll be flexible,” Daboll said. “He’ll do anything he can do to help.”

Anything needs to be better than what Neal has shown. He’ll enter next season playing for his future, which might not be with the Giants despite being a former first-round pick.

New Giants tight end Thomas Fidone II comes to the team having done something most of his new teammates haven’t: Play at Yankee Stadium.

It’s where Fidone played his last college game for Nebraska in the Pinstripe Bowl. The Giants’ seventh-round pick had five catches for 50 yards in Nebraska’s 20-15 win over Boston College in December.

“It was awesome being able to play in Yankee Stadium,” Fidone said on a conference call. “It’s a historical place, a historical team, and then to spend a week in New York . . . during Christmas was awesome.”

Fidone is an aspiring tattoo artist, having done tattoos for his father and several teammates. He also has about 12 or 13 on himself, although he’s inked himself only once.

Does that mean he’ll be adding another one soon to reflect being in the NFL or honoring his new team? Maybe.

“I might have to,” Fidone said. “All my tattoos mean something to me, life moments, things I believe in. Definitely something I’ll have to think about going forward is a tattoo for sure.”
