Veteran tight end Evan Engram knows wide receiver Jaylen Waddle is going to have a big impact on offense for the Denver Broncos in 2026.
Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram discussed Jaylen Waddle's impact on the team's offense in an interview following practice. Engram highlighted Waddle's speed, intelligence, and versatility, emphasizing that the Broncos will need to account for him every time he steps onto the field due to his undeniable talent. He praised Waddle's adaptability and chemistry with the team, noting that the player has meshed well since arriving in Denver.
