Chris Manhertz is a veteran tight end who gives the Giants a run advantage and appears poised to have an important role in Greg Roman's running offense. The source notes that Manhertz played nine snaps with the first team, had a quality rep on a run play, and also pinned a 295-pound defensive end on a T/C pin-pull sweep out of even 12 personnel.
