Broncos Newcomer Proudly Declares Denver‘A Dream Come True’ After Joining Team

Broncos TE Evan Engram embraces 'Joker' role but prefers 'cleaner' nickname

Denver, CO – July 25, 2025

As training camp begins in the Mile High City, the buzz around one of Denver’s newest additions is hard to miss. The Broncos have long prided themselves on legacy, but it’s rare to see a veteran so openly embrace the challenge of writing his own chapter.

The arrival of a new tight end signals a fresh direction for an offense searching for big-play ability and leadership in the red zone. Fans are already speculating about the impact he could have in Sean Payton’s evolving scheme.

For a player who’s seen both the highs of Pro Bowl seasons and the lows of nagging injuries, the opportunity in Denver represents more than just another contract — it’s a long-awaited dream.

That’s where Evan Engram comes in. The 30-year-old tight end, formerly of the Giants and Jaguars, brings an explosive skill set and a proven record as a pass-catching threat. Engram arrives with 496 career catches, 4,922 yards, and 25 touchdowns, his best season coming just two years ago with 114 grabs for nearly 1,000 yards.

"Wearing the Denver Broncos jersey is not pressure to me. On the contrary, it’s a privilege — because this is one of the most storied and proud franchises in the NFL. This is the challenge I’ve always dreamed of conquering in my career," Engram declared as he joined his new teammates for summer workouts.

Injuries have tested his resilience, including a hamstring and labrum issue that limited him to nine games in 2024. Yet his reputation as a dynamic route-runner and yards-after-catch specialist has never faded.

 

Inside the Broncos’ locker room, coaches and veterans have welcomed Engram’s leadership and professionalism. His work ethic, paired with his ability to stretch defenses, offers hope for a more unpredictable and versatile attack in 2025.

Fans, still glowing from the team’s strong defensive showing in 2024, are eager to see if Engram can provide the reliable target needed to push Denver deeper into the playoffs.

His contract may only be the start, but Engram’s words and actions have already set the tone. In a city where every snap is measured against history, the newest Bronco is determined to deliver on his dream.
