The Jacksonville Jaguars needed a tight end that opposing defenses feared after going the last few seasons without one. To solve that problem, they signed former New York Giants tight end Evan Engram to a one-year deal for $9 million in free agency. Their offensive coordinator Press Taylor discussed the addition of Engram on Jaguars Happy Hour on Thursday.
“When we put Evan Engram on the field, who’s going to cover him?” Taylor said. “Do you need to bring in a lighter body? Do you put a nickel on him? Do you put a safety on him? Do you put a linebacker on him, which we would ask for if you had to pick?”
Taylor said that he was also impressed with Engram’s speed, wiggle, and good decision-making on option routes.
