New York Giants have a young tight end climbing the ranks

Error 0:

When the New York Giants shut Evan Engram down for the remainder of the 2019 campaign after he succumbed to a foot sprain, they resorted to young Kaden Smith, who was previously an undrafted free agent out of college the offseason before.

Smith emerged as a talented tight end for the Giants who could potentially represent the future. While he struggled in run-blocking and pass protection at times, he was a serviceable pass-catcher for rookie quarterback, Daniel Jones.

Smith finished with 268 yards over 31 catches, amassing a 73.8% completion rate, far surpassing Engram’s high of 70.
