TE Evan Engram

Engram is coming off another season marred by injury. He was limited to just eight games in 2019 and ended the season on IR with a Lisfranc injury. The Giants will ask him to become more of a traditional tight end in their core offense but will also seek to use him as a weapon in the passing game to exploit his speed and athleticism.

“Everyone knows what Engram can do as a receiver – which he showed again tonight – but what jumped out about him in this practice was his physicality,” Salamone noted on Wednesday. “He was doing some dirty work, highlighted by a pancake block at one point to get the edge.”
