Giants’ Hidden Gem Declares Himself NFL’s ‘Best’

New York Giants right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor proclaimed himself the best right tackle in the NFL following a 27-21 overtime win against the Houston Texans. The 31-year-old veteran shut out Texans edge-rusher Will Anderson Jr., who entered the game with 7.5 sacks on the season. Eluemunor's strong performance protected quarterback J.J. McCarthy during his first start for New York.

According to Pro Football Focus, Eluemunor entered the matchup with a 96.7 percent pass-block win rate and has surrendered only one sack this season. Beyond pass protection, Eluemunor anchored a rushing attack that produced 188 yards and four touchdowns, while also mentoring rookie first-round guard Francis Mauigoa along the right side of the offensive line.
