Evan Engram’s Grove Bowl performance was not indicative of his work through 14 other spring practices.
Taz Zettergren’s was.
Engram, twice an All-SEC tight end and named All-America last year by Sports Illustrated and a couple of other outlets, had one catch for 17 yards in last Saturday’s spring game.
Had he hauled in four other passes that he got his hands on he’d have had close to 100 yards receiving.
Engram’s frustration was evident in his body language as the drops continued.
“I wish he’d have finished stronger in the spring game. I know some of those catches were tough, but like I told him, ‘You have set an expectation, and we expect you to make those kinds of plays for us,’” tight ends coach Maurice Harris said.
