"(Evan) Engram was drafted to be the versatile fourth wheel of an imposing aerial assault, already boasting Odell Beckham, Brandon Marshall and Sterling Shepard. But when all three went down with injuries, Engram's role changed, and the rookie tight end met the challenge (save for some blocking struggles)…Engram had a stellar first season, leading all rookie TEs in catches and TDs, and his selection alone makes New York's 2017 draft a successful one. (Dalvin) Tomlinson started all 16 games and was the "cherry on top" of Big Blue's already fearsome defensive line. Thanks to a strong close, (Wayne) Gallman could be New York's starting running back in 2018."
For their standout rookie seasons, both Engram and Tomlinson were selected to the Professional Football Writers of America (PFWA) 2017 All-Rookie Team. The Giants were one of just five clubs with multiple selections. Engram's six receiving touchdowns broke Bob Tucker's franchise record for rookie tight ends, a mark that had held up since 1970.
