Evan Engram showed the Giants a lot in his first NFL practice during the team’s rookie minicamp on Friday. He caught every pass thrown in his direction, seemed comfortable moving around the formations, and even appeared to be eager to learn the finer points of blocking during some of the drills.
What the first-round pick never really flashed, though, was the one skill that separated him from the rest of the athletes in this year’s draft class and made him the Giants’ choice with the 23rd pick.
Not to worry, though.
“The speed will show up,” head coach Ben McAdoo promised.
