The Denver Broncos clearly have some big plans for new tight end Evan Engram. We learned from Broncos head coach Sean Payton on Monday at the annual league meetings in Florida that Engram will be a key component to second-year quarterback Bo Nix's growth.

Evan Engram “loves Batman,” trainer Drew Lieberman said. And in Denver, the ballplayer who’s never quite found a name for his role will be known in one word: Joker.

Tucked in a corner of the makeshift media center, Broncos coach Sean Payton sounded settled-in but unsatisfied. His program is firmly in place going into Year 3. The franchise’s playoff drought is over. Perhaps most pertinent: This spring, Payton fielded no questions about quarterback uncertainty.
