THE Denver Broncos were able to recruit Evan Engram, free agent, the free agent Evan Engram in part because he loved what he saw of the young quarter-Arrière Bo Nix.
But Nix was not the driving force to conclude the agreement. He was rather a somewhat unexpected member of the team coaches staff. Not Sean Payton. Not the offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi. The coach not tight Austin King.

It was the Davis Webb quarter coach.
Webb, 30, and Engram, 30, were both chosen by the New York giants in the same draft class in 2017. They have a link dating from their recruited seasons in the NFL, and the Broncos Used this to recruit Engram during the free agency.
Shortly after his release from Jacksonville Jaguars in March, Engram heard Webb.
“He was really the first guy to call me that evening that I was released,” said Engrand during A recent interview with Bennie Fowler from DNVRAnother former teammate. I guess they gave him the keys to really amplify this recruitment process because my boy hit me with a 30 -minute bar snap for the bar on what they did to Denver and really took the details of the vision they had for me in this offense “,” that has definitely launched him. “”
It was a intelligent Denver strategy. Engram told Fowler that he and webb were “tied to the hip” in New York, and the former quarter-arre was the tourist tourist guide when he visited the installation of the broncos last month.

“Her apartment was right next to mine [with the Giants]”Said Engram.” We became the best friends really, very quickly and did everything together, really. It was really difficult when he left the Giants, but we always stayed close. We kept our strong friendship and became a big fan of him, even when he played other places and especially when he became a coach, doing this transition. “
This friendship seems to have paid dividends for the broncos because Engram and Webb are now gathered in Denver. It was only a coincidence that webb and Engram were to be good friends, but this is only the last example of the invaluable QB coach for broncos. It is not surprising that webb received a promotion (and an increase) this offseason.
