Evan Engram: It was easy being first in building with Jaguars, it's tough with Broncos
Evan Engram is early in his first season with the Broncos, but the tight end has already noticed one significant difference from his time with the Jaguars. Engram thrived on the field for most of his time in Jacksonville and left the Jaguars with 234 catches in 43 games, but he made it sound like he's found a better cultural fit for himself in Denver. Engram said that 'the way that this team connects, the way they push each other' has been his favorite thing about being with the Broncos and illustrated how that connection manifests itself at a training camp press conference. 'I tell people, all my family, it's hard to be the first one in the building,' Engram said, via DNVR Broncos. 'I'm used to being the first one. In Jacksonville, I was always the first one. It was really easy. Here, it's kind of tough. A lot of guys doing it at the highest level. It's just a contagious environment. We all want to get better, and we all have high standards that we all want to achieve together.' The Broncos took a significant step forward in head coach Sean Payton's second season by going from 8-9 to making the playoffs for the first time since winning Super Bowl 50. They lost to Buffalo in their first playoff game, but the commitment that Engram has noticed could help push them even further up the AFC ladder in 2025.

Destiny 2 'Lootapalooza' Derailed As Fans Mass-Delete Characters
Bungie has been paving the way for Destiny 2's upcoming The Edge of Fate expansion with a week of free loot for players. Once every day, fans can log in, visit the Emissary vendor, and claim an Infinite Nonary Engram, which drops all sorts of cosmetics players normally have to pay real money for. Not content with just one a day, players quickly discovered a trick for farming them en masse and Bungie just as quickly said 'OMG stop!' YouTuber Cheese Forever has a a quick explainer of how the glitch works and it's incredibly simple. Players go claim their daily Infinite Nonary Engram like they normally would. Then they delete one of the characters on their account. Then they go back and claim another Engram. It really is that easy. To keep repeating the trick you just have to keep making new characters and deleting them, something especially easy for those who normally only run one or two and have that third slot open. In response, Bungie disabled the free daily Engram for everyone. Since it was only the second day since the bonus had gone live, most players had barely even participated. Some logged on for the first time on Wednesday and couldn't claim anything. To find out what was going on, they had to see the message the Destiny 2 team posted around 5:00 p.m. on social media. 'Due to an issue, we have disabled the daily bonus Nonary Engram available at the Emissary,' the team wrote. 'We are currently investigating a fix. Players may still earn up to 20 Nonary Engrams to purchase for Nonary Manifolds through July 15, 2025.' Even those who weren't familiar with the glitch knew exactly what was going on. 'Due to an issue, we have disabled...' has become such a common occurrence in the game that most players barely even flinch. 'Hah, I was mostly only logging in this week for those engrams, and now they're disabled. Perfect,' wrote one player on the subreddit. 'Yup, that killed my drive for 'Lootapalooza.'Looks like tonight I finally check out that Mecha Break game!' wrote another. The episode is minor in the scheme of things, but reinforces the idea that Bungie prioritizes being stingy with loot over letting players just have fun. This week is Destiny 2's 'lootapalooza,' after all, just not for the stuff Bungie can actually make money off of. . For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Evan Engram gives his take on new quarterback Bo Nix
Evan Engram gives his take on new quarterback Bo Nix The Denver Broncos courted free agent tight end Evan Engram this spring, facing competition from the Los Angeles Chargers. Engram ended up signing with the Broncos for several reasons, including getting the chance to play with second-year quarterback Bo Nix. 'From afar, I paid attention to the Broncos," Engram said after the team's spring practice last Thursday. "Me and Davis Webb (Denver's QBs coach) had a really good relationship. We got drafted together in New York. So even just watching and supporting him, I was always really observant of Bo Nix. It was kind of obviously as a rookie, kind of a slow start last year. He was learning the game, but once he turned it on, you can see it all over the tape. Flying around for the [free agent] visits, [I] got to download some games on the laptop and watch some film. The potential is through the roof, and even better is just the way he is as a man, as a worker, as a leader. "It's been really great to get to know him on and off the field. I just love the way he approaches each and every day. I love the way he builds relationships with his teammates. I had lunch with him on my visit here. So he made it a point to be here and meet me. Even that lunch, I was able to just kind of listen to his process and things that he's working on. Just really impressive young guy. Like I said, the potential is through the roof, and I like to see myself as someone that can come in and help his development and take this team to another level.' Nix quickly made a good impression on Engram -- both on film and in person. The QB-TE duo will now aim to build on Denver's offensive success from last fall. Nix was invited to the Pro Bowl as an alternate last season after topping 4,200 yards from scrimmage and scoring 34 touchdowns. Engram was hindered by injuries for much of 2024, but he's just two years removed from a 114-catch, 963-yard campaign in 2023. Engram figures to serve as one of Nix's key targets in 2025, and their chemistry appears to be off to a good start. Fans will get to see the duo in action for the first time this summer at Broncos training camp (dates TBA). Related: These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans.

Evan Engram embraces the "Joker" role in the Broncos' offense
Evan Engram entered the NFL eight years ago, as a first-round pick of the Giants. Cut by the Jaguars after five years in New York and three in Jacksonville, Engram has landed with the Broncos. He was asked on Thursday why he chose Denver. Advertisement 'Everything about it," Engram told reporters. "With that question, I could be here for days. Denver was the first team to call when I got cut. Just talking with them and getting to know them, then getting here, getting into the building and feeling the energy here. Meeting some of the guys, hanging out with the coaches and hanging out with the front office. Just the expectations that are here, the team that is here, the quarterback that is here and the coach that is here. I could go on for days. I'm blessed to be here. Everything happens for a reason, and I'm really glad to be in Denver.' He picked the Broncos after making an initial visit to the Chargers. "It's a great organization there, as well," Engram said. "I had a great visit with them, but the best place for me and my family was here in Denver. Just with the offense, the history here, the way the organization takes care of its players. Like I said, I could go on all day. I'm really blessed to be here. It was a crazy process, and I just credit God for putting me in the place that he sees fit.' His fit in Denver will be playing the versatile "Joker" role in coach Sean Payton's offense. Advertisement 'That is a cool thing to just embrace," Engram said. "Sean talks about it a lot. It was a big part of the pitch coming here. . . . I definitely see that it is something that has to be earned with the way I work and the way that I learn the offense to gain the trust of Sean, Bo [Nix], and the rest of the coaches and players. I think we have a bunch of 'Jokers' on this team, honestly, that can have a great role on this offense. It is definitely something that I like to embrace, but it is also something that I am going to earn, too.' He can become an important piece of the overall effort to close the gap with the Chiefs. Which the Broncos quite possibly could do in 2025, after making it to the playoffs in Payton's second season with the team.
