Andrew Thomas

Thomas was selected in the first round with the fourth overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft by the New York Giants.

Thomas started every game at right tackle his true freshman season, earning him a Freshman All-American accolade after the conclusion of the season. Thomas switched to left tackle for his sophomore season. He injured his left ankle playing South Carolina, and didn't play the following game against Middle Tennessee. During the next two games, Thomas worked his way back to full participation, though he was forced to wear a brace after re-injuring the ankle later in the season. After helping to pave the way for 331 rushing yards against Kentucky, Thomas was named the SEC offensive lineman of the week. He was named a first-team All American and to the first-team All-SEC after the season. Thomas was also invited to the NCAA Elite Football Synopsium in the winter following his sophomore season; the program helps athletes prepare for the transition from college to the NFL. Before his junior season, Thomas projected out as a potential first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft if he chose to leave Georgia after his junior year. On December 17, 2019, Thomas announced that he would forgo his senior year and enter the 2020 NFL Draft, thus also skipping the 2020 Sugar Bowl.

Playing at Pace Academy as part of the class of 2017, Thomas' coaches lauded his work ethic. Following his high school career, Thomas played at the Army All-American Game. He committed to Georgia on July 10, 2016, choosing the Bulldogs over offers from Alabama, Auburn, Florida and others.
