. In doing so, they’ll take on an offense that is yet to click, despite its wide-ranging talent.
Last year, Engram caught 73 passes for 766 yards and four touchdowns. Deployed in favorable situations by head coach Doug Pederson, he’s the matchup nightmare many had hoped he’d be with the New York Giants. “You try to maybe put a couple of DBs on him,” Gray said. “When you see the guy, it’s incredible. He’s a big physical-looking guy who can run after the catch and has a lot of yards so you’ve got to know where he is.”Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports
So far this year, Engram has 18 catches for 173 yards, but he’s yet to score a touchdown. He’s been markedly consistent, including a strong six-catch, 57-yard performance against a strong Kansas City Chiefs defense.
