The Denver Broncos are trying to load up for another run at the Super Bowl as they sit in first place in the AFC West at 6-2, and it looks like they aren't leaving any stone unturned.

The Broncos tight end room currently consists of Evan Engram, Adam Trautman, Nate Adkins and Dallen Bentley, who have combined for just 23 catches for 220 yards and four touchdowns through the first eight weeks of the season.

The Broncos are scheduled to take on the Carolina Panthers in Week 9.
