The Giants selected Jerell Adams in the sixth round of the draft this spring, and he immediately became the most decorated tight end the team has.
There are others who have started for them, including Larry Donnell and Will Tye. And Matt LaCosse has caught three passes in the NFL (which is second-most among the position group).
But none of them was drafted by anyone.
All of that means the position is wide open and anyone who is able to make an impact in the summer – including undrafted rookie Ryan Malleck – could wind up as the starter in September.
