Evan Engram

Tight End · Ole Miss

Broncos tight end signed in 2026 as the veteran target Bo Nix needed in the middle of the field.

Evan Engram has bounced between roles his whole career: rookie All-Pro with the Giants, free-agent revival in Jacksonville (94-catch Pro Bowl season in 2023), and now the Broncos' top tight end after signing a one-year deal in March 2026. His route-running fits the Denver offense's spacing requirements.

2023 NFL TE receptions leader (114)
5,500+ career receiving yards

Path to the league

Ole Miss product taken 23rd overall by the Giants in 2017. Made the All-Rookie team. Signed with Jacksonville in 2022 and produced his career-best season in 2023 with 114 catches and 1,030 yards.

Career highlights

2017 All-Rookie team. 2023 Pro Bowl. 2023 NFL receptions leader at TE (114). 5,500+ career receiving yards. Most career receptions by a TE through the first 8 NFL seasons (top 10).

2026 outlook

Bo Nix's preferred middle-of-field target. Denver's offense lacked a reliable TE in 2025; Engram fills that gap on a one-year, $7 million deal. Productive role projection: 70 catches, 650 yards, 5 TDs.
