Player Outlook
The Broncos selected Joly in the fifth round of the NFL Draft from North Carolina State, and he will compete for a role on offense this season. Joly is not worth drafting in most seasonal leagues, and he is a late-round flier in rookie-only drafts for Dynasty leagues. Joly could eventually replace Evan Engram in 2027, and Joly played well for the Wolfpack in 2025 with 49 catches for 489 yards and seven touchdowns in 12 games. In 2026, Engram should still lead all Denver tight ends in production, and Joly's role will likely be minimal in his rookie campaign.

  • Broncos' Justin Joly: Taken by Broncos

    Denver selected Joly in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 152nd overall. Joly spent the last two years of his four-year college career at NC State, and he was named to the All-ACC First-Team in 2025 after catching 49 passes for 489 yards and seven touchdowns across 12 games. Joly was mostly detached from the offensive line with NC State and lined up primarily in the slot, making him a mismatch when lined up against opposing secondaries. His 6-foot-3 frame and large, strong hands helps him finish catches regardless of coverage, and he could earn himself regular snaps on offense if he can be more consistent as a blocker. Evan Engram leads the Broncos' tight end room, so Joly is set to compete against Adam Trautman and Nate Adkins for snaps as the TE2 and in 12-man personnel.
