Giants' Eluemunor & Thomas: NFL's Top Pass-Blocking Duo

0:00On March 26, the New York Giants made a smart move by resigning right-tackle Dermain Elohim Munor in free agency. Paired with left-tackle Andrew Thomas, they formed the NFL's top-pass blocking duo at the edges last season. Both ranked among the very best in limiting pressures on the quarterback. Elohim Munor allowed just a 3.3 percent pressure rate right behind Thomas at 3.1 percent, that put them ahead of stars like Lane Johnson and Phineas Soule. Thomas also ranked second league-wide in pass blocking efficiency at 98.3, while Elohim Munor was 6 at 98.0. Fans and analysts see this as a huge win for quarterback protection. Thomas is only 27 and prime for more strong years if he stays healthy. Elohim Munor, at 31, just had his best season yet, building on steady improvement over the past few years. No one doubt he can sustain it, especially with many linemen thriving into their mid-30s. His new three-year, $39 million deal locks in that value for the Giants.
