Giants add dynamic weapon to passing game with Evan Engram

The New York Giants have selected tight end Evan Engram out of Ole Miss with the 23rd overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.

Engram, an elite athlete as evidenced by his sensational combine numbers, adds yet another dynamic weapon to the Giants' passing game.

Working as a matchup player in the slot, his ability alongside the likes of Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandon Marshall may be difficult for opposing defenses to gameplan against.

Engram was virtually unstoppable in that role with Ole Miss.
