He followed that up with a perfect GIF that will resonate with fans in Denver:
The GIF is a reference to the " Joker " role he will play in Denver's offense. Broncos coach Sean Payton mentioned repeatedly this offseason that he wanted to add a tight end with elite receiving skills -- a "Joker" that can create mismatches in the offense's favor.
Engram's mom, Michelle Zelina, then broke some news on her Twitter/X page when she shared a picture of Engram's new Broncos jersey:
Engram wore No. 88 with the New York Giants , which is unofficially retired by the Broncos in honor of late wide receiver Demaryius Thomas . After that, Engram wore No. 17 with the Jacksonville Jaguars , which is currently worn by Denver receiver Devaughn Vele .
