The New York Giants have embraced the need to fortify the tight end position. At No. 23 overall in the 2017 NFL Draft, general manager Jerry Reese went hunting for a prospect who could take the top off a defense and fit the identity of the offense he’s building.
At No. 23 overall, Reese shocked the masses by selecting Ole Miss Rebels tight end Evan Engram.
Most expected David Njoku of the Miami Hurricanes to be Reese’s target, but Engram is the player he opted to acquire.
Engram was one of the most productive tight ends in the country during his four-year career at Ole Miss.
