Position preview: Why are the Giants collecting tight ends?

One of the interesting things about the re-construction of the New York Giants roster has been the team’s accumulation of tight ends.

There is, of course, 2017 first-round pick Evan Engram. There is veteran Rhett Ellison. There is also Jerell Adams, a physically gifted player entering his third season and still looking to maximize his skillset.

Yet, the Giants collected an alphabet soup of tight ends to supplement that trio, and maybe to supplant Adams. Kyle Carter, Scott Simonson, Ryan O’Malley and Garrett Dickerson have been added.
