Engram's Role in Denver: Draft or Development?

0:00On April 21st, Evan Engram's first year with the Denver Broncos in 2025 left fans wanting more. The 31-year-old tied in hauled in 50 catches for 461 yards and just one touchdown. He wrapped up the season hinting he'd love a bigger role in the offense next time around. Now with the NFL drafts days away, talk his heating up about Denver, grabbing a tight end early. They signed Engram only a year back, so folks wonder if he's still central to their plans or if they're eyeing fresh talent to shake things up. Broncos' head coach Sean Payton addressed the chatter head on. He noted tight ends often fit different schemes, and while Engram delivered some huge plays last season, the team aims to boost his snaps without, sidelining him. Payton made it clear, though keep building around Engram while possibly adding competition through the draft. That could mean varied roles for multiple tight ends, ramping up the overall attack. Expect Engram's production to climb in year two, as Denver fine-tunes its passing game heading into 2026.
