Could that be second-year man Evan Brown? Let’s take a closer look at Brown as we work our way through the 90-man roster the Giants will bring to training camp.The basicsHeight: 6-foot-2Weight: 302Age: 22Position: CExperience: 12018 season in reviewBrown made the Giants’ 53-man roster. He just never played in a game.2019 outlookBrown figures to be roughly what he was a year ago — the third or fourth center. Halapio is back from injury, and the Giants brought back his replacement White B.J. Hill Jerseys , Spencer Pulley. One of those two, likely Halapio, will start with the other being a primary reserve at center and guard. Brown can also play both. Veteran John Greco is gone, but the Giants did add undrafted free agent center James O’Hagan (Buffalo) to compete for a roster spot.Per a 2018 scouting report from Tony Pauline, Brown was “a consistent lineman at the college level but is a marginal athlete with limited upside.” Could the Giants pair Iowa TE Noah Fant with Evan Engram?"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections New York Giants NewsGiants Training Camp 2016Giants vs. Eagles 2015, Week 172019 NFL DraftCould Iowa TE Noah Fant supplement the Giants’ passing game?New B.J.

It’s a question we have been asking for a while now and at first blush they do appear to be solid at the position. Evan Engram looks to be in line for an expanded role in the Giants revamped offense. Rhett Ellison is entrenched as the 1b and primary blocking tight end, and the Giants re-signed Scott Simonson. However, an undersized “hybrid” tight end might not fit Dave Gettleman’s idea of a proper direction for a football team. Meanwhile, Ellison is very highly paid for a blocking tight end and Scott Simonson shouldn’t preclude the Giants from making any moves at the position. So there is the possibility that the position is not nearly as solid as it may appear, and the Giants could move to add a tight end in the draft. Assuming that the Giants are, in fact White Kyle Lauletta Jerseys , comfortable with hybrid tight ends, could they look at Noah Fant out of Iowa to supplement their passing game with another hyper-athletic matchup nightmare?MeasurablesProsElite athlete for the position.Versatile match-up nightmare.Able to play from a variety of alignments. Ran a diverse set of routes. Uses his size to his advantage against smaller defensive backs. Adjusts well to off-target passes.

Fant is a bit bigger than Engram, but the two occupy the same role in an offense as match-up nightmare “move” tight ends. Both players are capable of lining up anywhere in an offensive formation, from fullback to wide receiver Kyle Lauletta Jerseys 2019 , and helping to dictate coverage match-ups for the whole offense. They also have a similar blend of size and athleticism to make them nightmares for any defender tasked with covering them. Both players use their explosive athleticism to not only separate at all areas of the field, but also to rack up yards after the catch. Likewise, while both players are frequently in-line and are willing blockers, neither is particularly impressive there and do their best work in space and at the second level. Fant is not yet a finished product and has some work to do to reach his potential -- as is the case for most rookies -- but he should be able to produce from moment he steps on the field. The question for the Giants is if they want to double-down on hybrid tight ends. It is an unorthodox strategy, but considering their top receivers are both smaller players who excel in the slot, having the tight end position add both size and athletic mismatches could present intriguing opportunities. Of course White Evan Engram Jerseys , if the Giants are set on a “traditional” brand of offense, they probably aren’t thrilled with inheriting even one hybrid tight end.
