“Been around Evan Neal,” Anderson wrote. “(I) know he has it. We’re playing around with his stance. He’ll eventually get into a stance he feels comfortable with. Long, big guys like him and (Andrew Whitworth) are not human and have a significant advantage because of their feet. He’s going to get (it).”

Anderson also gave a shout-out to Giants offensive line coach Bobby Johnson for encouraging Neal to reach out and train with retired players who previously dominated at the NFL level.

“Shout-out to his O-line coach, Bobby Johnson, of the Giants for encouraging him to (work with) his people in the offseason,” Anderson wrote. “Can’t thank him enough for wanting his guys to get better and not having the ego usually associated with O-line coaches about ‘their guys.’ Salute, Bobby.”

Really have to give credit to Anderson for giving OL Coach Johnson props for promoting Neal to reach out to former players. Neal for actually doing it and Johnson for not letting pride get in the way promoting it.
I'm sure people haven't seen this and it is better titled

IF Neal doesn't succeed, it won't be due to effort. This isn't Flowers 2.0.

Correct, Neal is humble and hungry to learn and get better. And is much more intelligent.
Good start.

Neal just needs to improve his hand strength and not be afraid to learn how to fight in close quarters, chop the speed guys' arms and control them.

Big men like Neal will always get beaten by trying to cut-off smaller, quicker DEs.
