Evan Engram will be a very good friend of Eli Manning's very soon. Great receiving TE. #Giants #NFLDraft

All I could think about was what if Giants took Evan Engram and Chad Kelly... 1 down 1 to go @EvanEngram @ckelly_10

I'm very happy the giants drafted TE, just didn't like that they skipped over foster. Evan engram seems like a baller though
