EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The words and phrases used to describe new New York Giants tight end Evan Engram included "versatile," "smart," "great speed," "dynamic weapon" and "tremendous football player."
Sounds like the kind of guy who can help an offense that scored the seventh-fewest points in the NFL last season.
Engram, 22, was the Giants’ choice with the 23rd pick in Thursday night's first round of the NFL draft. He’s a gazelle in the tight end family, having run the 40-yard dash in 4.42 seconds at the scouting combine. He had a time faster than all but three wide receivers.
