2026 Outlook
Evan Engram is in his first season with the Denver Broncos after joining the team in 2025. The tight end signed with Denver to add receiving depth to the passing offense. In his first season with the Broncos (2025), Engram caught 50 receptions but averaged only 9.2 yards per catch with just two receptions longer than 20 yards—indicating limited deep-ball involvement in the previous scheme.
August 2026 training camp breakthrough: Engram has had a strong early camp performance under new offensive coordinator Davis Webb, who was previously with the New York Giants during Engram's tenure there. This prior familiarity appears to be manifesting on the practice field. Through the first week of camp (July 31–August 5), Engram has generated multiple explosive catch-and-runs on deep balls in team drills, a significant improvement from his 2025 role. Head coach Sean Payton noted the dynamic: "I would say yes to some degree, he's trying to find different ways where he might have a matchup, and that's a good thing. He can definitely be a big asset for us." Engram's ability to win in space and turn catches into yards-after-catch suggests Webb's play-calling may unlock more of his receiving potential in the vertical passing game (per 2026 Denver Broncos training camp: Latest intel, updates).
