Evan Engram played his first five seasons in the NFL with the New York Giants before he signed a one-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars back in March. On Sunday, Engram will be facing his former team for the first time, so it's just inevitable for fans and the press to speculate about whether there should be an elevated expectation of the tight end's performance in Week 7, considering the proverbial “revenge game” factor.

However, Evan Engram said to reporters Thursday that “there’s no revenge.” He also said that he's got nothing but “love” for his old team. “They treated me well for five years and I’m excited to see those guys. I’m definitely excited to compete against them, for sure. It’s going to be fun game for me to play in.”

Moreover, Engram acknowledged that the revenge narrative is always part of the story when a player gets to face his former NFL brothers.
