It turns out returning for his senior year at Ole Miss was a hell of a good call by Evan Engram. The tight end’s patience paid off on Thursday night when the Giants selected him with the 23rd pick in the first round of the NFL Draft.
Yep, the greatest tight end in Ole Miss history will be snagging passes from Eli Manning.
As a recruit out of Hill Grove (Powder Springs, GA), Engram didn’t boast much of an offer sheet, and was something of an afterthought in a historic Ole Miss 2013 class that boasted Laremy Tunsil, Robert Nkemdiche and Laquon Treadwell.
