Evan Engram found a new home Thursday night. With the 23rd pick of the first round of the 2017 NFL draft, the New York Giants selected Engram from a talented field of collegiate tight ends. There, he will join fellow Rebel alum and Super Bowl champion quarterback Eli Manning, himself taken first overall by the Giants in 2003.
Engram earned All-SEC honors four separate times and ended his tenure at Ole Miss leading the nation in career receiving yards. The former captain’s consistency on the field and demeanor off the field cemented his status as an Ole Miss fan favorite.
