Can Rhett Ellison exceed initial expectations with the New York Giants?

New York Giants tight end Rhett Ellison arrived in East Rutherford tipped to be little more than a viable blocking outlet, yet already appears to be a far more versatile option than first expected.

The tight end teamed up with the New York Giants as a free agent in March and has since been hailed as a crucially polar opposite prospect to first-round draft pick Evan Engram. A prominent and experienced blocker to complement a rookie tight-end equipped to give Eli Manning a fresh target.

Five years after being drafted by the Minnesota Vikings, the 28-year-old now finds himself with only his second team in his NFL career.
