New York Giants: Is Kaden Smith the next star at tight end?

It was no surprise when the New York Giants picked up the fifth-year option of tight end Evan Engram, considering the value he brings to the offense when completely healthy.

The Giants currently have Engram, Levine Toilolo, and Kaden Smith as their primary tight ends. Engram played in just eight games in 2019, recording a career-low 467 yards and three touchdowns. He also saw a regression in catch rate at 64.7%. If he can remain healthy, Engram can be one of the better-receiving tights ends in the NFL, considering his rookie season where he played in just 72% of offensive snaps and posted 722 yards and six scores.
