What helps Engram out is having someone else in the tight end room who knows the offense like the back of their hand. Enter Rhett Ellison, the seven-year veteran who played with the Minnesota Vikings from 2012-2016. Shurmur coached the Vikings' tight ends before being named the team's interim offensive coordinator midway through the 2016 season.

"As soon as Shurmur was hired and he came in, Rhett was up here in the weight room and he was just excited about how the offense was going to use us," Engram said. "He's been our walking playbook actually with all the small things, especially at the tight end position and how coach Shurmur likes to run things. I've been picking his brain a lot, and we all have actually. He's definitely been a good resource."

Engram and Ellison make quite the dynamic duo. The former is already building a reputation as one of the league's premier pass-catching tight ends. The latter is considered one of the better run-blocking tight ends in football.

As a whole, the Giants enter training camp with a deep tight end room. Jerell Adams is entering his third season with the club. Shane Smith and Ryan O'Malley are back as well, as are an experienced group of newcomers – Scott Simonson, Garrett Dickerson and Kyle Carter.

"It's a great room," Engram said. "We got "Pops" in Rhett; he's just a walking teach-tape," Engram said. "Whether it's blocking, or his route-running which is very underrated, he doesn't even believe that he looks as good as he does. Then we got Jerell [Adams] and Ryan [O'Malley] and Kyle [Carter] – there's a lot of experience, a lot of youth and athleticism and guys that like to come out here and get better each and every day. It's a great room to be in. We're looking for a big year out of all of us."

Still just 23-years-old, Engram expects a big year from himself, especially in the new-look Giants offense that should feature plenty of big-play potential.
