There isn’t any secret that the Indianapolis Colts want so as to add expertise to the tight finish place. Might that embody pursuing New York Giants pending free agent Evan Engram?
A primary-round choose with the Giants in 2017, Engram has flashed elite upside as a receiver. He hasn’t been capable of put all of it collectively, although, and his points with focus drops have plagued his profession to date.
However the Colts nonetheless could also be trying so as to add that form of expertise and upside to the roster. Mike Garafolo mentioned Friday on NFL Community’s “Good Morning Soccer” that the Colts could possibly be eyeing the Ole Miss product.
“I heard Evan Engram may be in play in Indianapolis so keep watch over that one,” mentioned Garafolo on Friday morning.
Whereas this isn’t an official report that the Colts are going for Engram—they’ve some curiosity in all gamers set to hit the market—the match wouldn’t be a horrible one.
Engram’s profession could not have taken off to the purpose the place he’s made good on his first-round draft capital. However he has nonetheless supplied flashes of upside that can make groups intrigued.
The Colts have a determined want so as to add playmakers to their offense. Although it isn’t clear what course they’ll go in after buying and selling away quarterback Carson Wentz, they will’t afford to be uber-picky in the case of including expertise.
The current retirement of starter Jack Doyle additionally complicates issues whereas pending free agent Mo Alie-Cox has but to be re-signed. The one tight finish presently on the roster is Kylen Granson, who simply completed his rookie season.
No matter who the Colts have beneath middle, they want extra explosive playmakers on offense. Engram can present worth if the Colts can hold him from committing the drive-killing drops he had in East Rutherford.
His measurement and velocity make him a mismatch all around the subject and if the Colts are capable of take a one-year flier on Engram, it will not be a foul transfer.
