For the past three seasons, the New York Giants struggled to find a truly effective tight end. Unfortunately, Daniel Fells was out for all of 2015 and would have been a veteran blocking presence. Larry Donnell and Will Tye filled in for Fells and performed admirably, but both had their faults.
Donnell looked to be an adequate tight end before a neck injury cut his season in half. In eight games, he had 29 catches for two touchdowns. He had memorable grabs including a game-winner in the back of the endzone against the San Francisco 49ers. He showed talent in getting open, but he had trouble with drops.
