Giants seventh round pick - Kentucky T George Asiago-Adjei. He was raised by single mom who worked 3 jobs. Born in Bronx. Didn’t meet his sister until he was 14. she was in Ghana and family would not get her here. wow. By the way he played every day against Josh Allen

Tony Pauline of Draft Analyst says Afafo-Adjei is an “underrated offensive tackle” who is “a legitimate prospect for the next level. Asafo-Adjei possesses the size, fundamentals and feel for blocking that could help him make an active roster as an inexpensive utility lineman.”
His pro day: 6-4 1/2, 306 pounds. 33 1/4 arms. 5.03 40. 1.76 10. 30" VJ. 9-1 BJ. 4.88 SS. 8.07 3C.
