Jamari Johnson emerges as potential first round pick for Denver Broncos

Oregon tight end Jamari Johnson has garnered attention as a potential first-round selection for the Denver Broncos in the 2027 NFL draft. Analysts point to his physical profile of 6-5 and 257 pounds, along with his ability to make catches in traffic as key assets. Johnson recorded 32 catches for 510 yards and three touchdowns during the 2025 season. As he enters his redshirt junior year at Oregon, he is expected to move into a starting role previously held by Kenyon Sadiq. The interest from Denver coincides with the pending free agency of current Broncos tight end Evan Engram. If Johnson maintains his trajectory throughout the upcoming college season, he remains a candidate to join the Denver roster in the future.
