When the New York Giants selected Oregon guard Shane Lemieux in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL draft, they felt they were getting a throwback to their championship days. The Giants were famous for finding gritty linemen in the mid-to-late rounds that turned into solid pros.
Lemieux was said to remind Giants’ scouts of Rich Seubert, who played 10 seasons for Giants (2001-10) as an undrafted free agent out of Western Illinois. Seubert played guard and some center and brought a nastiness to the trenches.
