It took one training camp practice for key Broncos receiver to stand out
Key Points:
- The Denver Broncos began their first official training camp practice for the 2026 NFL season on July 29th, aiming to improve on their 2025 performance and potentially reach the Super Bowl.
- The team added wide receiver Jaylen Waddle this offseason, who is expected to be the Broncos' true No. 1 target, bringing experience from three 1,000-yard seasons and over 5,000 career receiving yards.
- Second-year wide receiver Pat Bryant has already stood out in training camp, showing promise as a more complete receiver compared to Troy Franklin, potentially positioning himself as the team's unofficial WR3.
- Bryant's larger frame, crisp route-running, and reliable hands, along with increased playing time late in 2025, suggest he could be a key contributor alongside Waddle and Courtland Sutton.
- The Broncos hope to have a strong receiving corps with four legitimate wide receivers, including Bryant and Franklin, to diversify their offense and support Waddle and Sutton throughout the season.
