After his first year with the Jaguars, the league seemed to notice Evan Engram.
During his sixth NFL season, Engram posted career highs in receptions and yards and set the Jaguars’ single-season franchise record for receptions and yards for a tight end.
In ESPN’s yearly series on the best players at every position, ranked by coaches, players, and executives, Engram ranked as the game’s eighth-best tight end after his record-setting year.
“He can create mismatches from various alignments, and he can win against various types of defensive personnel — linebacker, corner, safety,” a high-ranking NFL official said in the ESPN survey.
