    Christian McCaffrey’s father, Ed McCaffrey, has expressed excitement over the Denver Broncos’ recent acquisition of tight end Evan Engram. This addition is seen as a significant move to bolster the team’s offense, particularly as the Broncos aim to support young quarterback Bo Nix in his second season.

    Engram, a former first-round pick, brings a wealth of experience and talent to Denver. Known for his versatility and ability to create mismatches, he offers Nix a reliable target in the passing game. McCaffrey believes that Engram’s skill set will be instrumental in helping Nix develop into a top-tier quarterback.

    Denver has struggled with offensive consistency in recent years, and adding a dynamic player like Engram is expected to make a difference. McCaffrey pointed out that Engram can function as a “big receiver,” providing crucial support in short-yardage situations.

    Furthermore, Engram’s presence also allows explosive plays down the field. This versatility is vital for a young quarterback learning to navigate the complexities of the NFL.

    Engram was recently identified by McCaffrey as Denver’s big offseason pickup. His thoughts an be seen in an article by DJ Siddiqi for RG.org.

    “They’re going to use him as a big receiver in the passing game, and he can sometimes be a quarterback’s best friend,” says McCaffrey of Engram. “Usually the tight ends run routes that are a little closer to the quarterback over the middle of the field, easy targets for the QB. If he gets pressure, they need a guy that can win in one-on-one situations at that tight end position. So that was a big pickup.”

    As the team prepares for the upcoming season, the partnership between Nix and Engram holds promise for revitalizing the Broncos’ offensive strategy. McCaffrey’s endorsement of Engram emphasizes the positive impact he can have on the team’s overall performance. With the right blend of talent and coaching, the Broncos are poised to take significant strides forward.
