ANALYSISEngram said Thursday he feels "the potential is through the roof" for second-year quarterback
Bo Nix, per
DiLalla, and the veteran tight end projects to be a significant part of the young signal-caller's Year 2 development. Now fully recovered from the hamstring and labrum injuries that limited him to nine regular-season appearances with Jacksonville in 2024, Engram is entrenched as Denver's top tight end above
Adam Trautman, and he's staring down a seemingly straightforward path to emerging as the No. 2 option in the passing game behind top wideout
Courtland Sutton.
Marvin Mims,
Devaughn Vele and
Troy Franklin project as complementary options and are joined by rookie third-rounder
Pat Bryant, but Engram is clearly the Broncos' most proficient target outlet for short passes, even if his prime is in the past as he enters his age-31 season.
Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports that Engram's usage at OTAs suggests a key role in the passing game.
