02Scheme fit
Ideal system
West Coast timing offense, featuring two tight end sets, and play-action concepts off of an inside zone run game.

Best role
Egnew projects as a Year 1 contributor in 12 personnel packages, with a ceiling as a reliable pass-catching TE2.
Wrong fit
A pure run-heavy, traditional power gap scheme would underutilize his receiving talents and highlight his blocking deficiencies.
Egnew's athleticism and receiving prowess make him an asset in pass-centric schemes, though his blocking will limit his every down potential in many offenses.
04The evaluation
Selected #78 overall in Round 3 of the 2012 NFL Draft by Miami Dolphins out of Missouri.
