Following the Russell Wilson trade the Denver Broncos seem to have a long term need at the tight end position. Now that Noah Fant is a member of the Seattle Seahawks Albert Okwuegbunam figures to earn a significant bump in playing time in his third season. The fourth round pick has flashed his first two years in the league, but he’s also missed games to injury both years. After Okwuegbunam the Broncos have Eric Tomlinson and Shaun Beyer. Tomlinson’s caught 18 career passes across stints with six different coaching staffs, and Shaun Beyer has yet to log a snap in the NFL after going undrafted out of Iowa last year.
