Overview

  • Engram signed a two-year, $23 million deal in March and has been working closely with quarterback Bo Nix during organized team activities.
  • Coach Sean Payton envisions Engram as the Broncos' offensive 'Joker' for his ability to create mismatches but Engram says he must earn that distinction.
  • Engram describes himself as a 'Cleaner,' focusing on leadership and consistency to overcome injuries that limited him to 47 catches and 365 yards in 2024.
  • Denver's tight ends combined for just 51 receptions and 483 yards last season, marking the unit as a key area for offensive improvement.
  • The Broncos conclude OTAs this week, will open mandatory minicamp next week and are exploring a free agent visit with running back J.K. Dobbins.
