Jeff Heuerman is the presumed favorite to take over as the Denver Broncos’ starting tight end, but as every football coach loves to say, competition can only be a good thing.
According to Troy Renck of the Denver Post, the Broncos have signed another tight end to compete for Owen Daniels’ old job.

Graham was drafted by Houston in the fourth round of the 2010 draft out of Wisconsin, and has gone on to start 31 games for the Texans in the last six years, totaling 100 receptions for 1,059 yards and 10 touchdowns.
His best season came in 2013 under Gary Kubiak when he caught 49 receptions for 545 yards and five touchdowns. Since then, though, Graham has only caught 22 balls for 227 yards and two touchdowns in the last two seasons.
