EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The speed is evident at practices and during games. In two to three steps, Evan Engram has defenders choking on his fumes.

He’s so fast that some of his New York Giants teammates think the rookie tight end can beat most of the team’s wide receivers in a race. Safety Landon Collins, who covers Engram at practice, believes only a healthy Odell Beckham Jr. and Tavarres King would beat him.

It’s a reasonable debate. Engram ran the 40-yard dash in 4.42 seconds at the NFL combine.
