Jerry Reese/Marc Ross on Justin Pugh
"Terrific football player," general manager Jerry Reese said. "We think he is really versatile. He can play left tackle, right tackle, either guard and (offensive line coach) Pat Flaherty thought he could play center and has that kind of skill set.
"Hard to pass up on those kind of guys," Reese added. "People ask about his arms ... we looked at him and when you see guys with 32-inch arms playing offensive line, especially the tackle position, I looked at tape after tape after tape and I could never see the arms come into play ... I was looking for excuses to downplay him ... but could never find it. He was too good of a value. As a matter of fact, he was the highest guy on the board."
“He’s just a clean player. For us that means he’s productive on tape, he plays hard, he’s smart, he’s athletic, he’s physical, he’s a great kid, doesn’t have any issues, and he’s got a lot of upside. When you’ve got a checklist of positives you look for in a player, he had most of those attributes.” – Giants scouting director Marc Ross
