Evan Engram's work ethic impresses Joe Judge
Instead of accepting accolades, the best season of Evan Engram's career has left him seeking improvement.
"There were a lot of things I feel like could I have done better," Engram said Friday after the Giants' on-field organized team activities. "There were a lot of things did I well and there are things that I can build on. Definitely throwing last year away, there were a lot of things to learn from. But I'm looking forward to this next season and improving every day out here in OTAs."
Engram was one of the Giants' most prominent offensive weapons in 2020, his fourth NFL season. The team's 2017 first-round draft choice played all 16 games for the first time and started a career-high 14 games. He was second on the Giants with 63 receptions, one less than the career high he set as a rookie in 2017. Engram's catches gained 654 yards. He also had six rushing attempts for 26 yards. Engram scored one receiving and one rushing touchdown.
Engram caught at least one pass in all 16 games, increasing his streak to 45 consecutive games in which he played with at least one reception. His 63 catches were the sixth-highest single-season total by a tight end in Giants history and his 654 yards were the eighth highest.
So, what is he focused on as he prepares for pro season No. 5?
"Really, everything from ball security, from blocking techniques, from routes, getting in and out of breaks," he said. "Everything that goes in doing my job every single day I put an emphasis on to improve."
Second-year coach Joe Judge is impressed with Engram's commitment to becoming a better player in 2021.
"I'm telling you when you watch us practice and you watch No. 88 on the field, no one empties the tank like this guy," Judge said. "This guy goes hard every day. We have to tell him to tone it down more than pick up his pace based on what kind of phase, practice room, walk-through, jog through, whatever you have at the time of year. Evan is always a guy that makes you say, 'Hey Evan, tone it down a little bit.' He works on the details, takes coaching well, he's mentally tough and a physically tough dude and takes care of his body, ready to stay on the field.
"I'm very pleased with the way he works. He's a fun guy having in a program, he's a fun guy in the locker room, he's a leader on our team and he's a very productive player for us. I enjoy coaching him every single day."
