Evan Engram is ready for a fresh chapter in his career as he joins the Denver Broncos, making waves as he takes on the versatile 'Joker' role in head coach Sean Payton's innovative offense.

A former first-round draft pick, Engram's journey has seen him kick off his NFL career with the New York Giants before spending time with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now, after being released, he found a new home with the Broncos, a choice he reflects on with enthusiasm.

"Everything about it drew me here," Engram shared with reporters. His excitement was palpable as he described how the Broncos were the first team to reach out after his release. Engram couldn't help but rave about the team's energy, the camaraderie with players and coaches, and the high expectations within the organization. "I’m truly blessed to be here," he emphasized.

Initially considering a visit to the Los Angeles Chargers, Engram felt an undeniable connection with the Broncos. "The best fit for me and my family was here in Denver," he noted, highlighting the storied history and supportive culture of the team.

Engram is set to embrace the 'Joker' role, a crucial piece in Payton's offensive strategy. "It’s an exciting challenge," he admitted. "Sean emphasizes its importance, and it's something that I must earn through hard work and learning the system. I believe we have several players on this team who can step into such a role and contribute significantly."

His talent in this unique position could help the Broncos narrow the competitive gap with rivals like the Kansas City Chiefs, especially as they aim for playoff success in the coming seasons with Payton at the helm.

As Engram steps into this pivotal role, all eyes will be on him and the Broncos as they strive to leave their mark in the upcoming NFL seasons.
