Evan Engram wasn’t supposed to be playing for Ole Miss this season.
He, like fellow 2013 classmates Laremy Tunsil, Laquon Treadwell and Robert Nkemdiche, expected to be wearing an NFL uniform by now. After leading the country in receptions and receiving yards for a tight end as a sophomore, Engram figured last season would be his farewell tour.
"It was tough," Engram told ESPN of his decision. "It was really tough. I had people in my ear saying 'He should go. He could be playing with Tom Brady or Peyton [Manning].' Even watching the NFL during the season, I could see myself out there.
