Broncos position preview: No. 1 tight end role up for grabs to begin training camp

One of a series looking at the position groups for the Broncos heading into training camp. Today: tight ends.

It’s too early to tell which Broncos tight end will emerge as quarterback Case Keenum’s go-to option this fall. Here’s what we do know: That pass-catching, run-blocking void in Denver’s offense will likely be filled by a former Big Ten standout.

Five of the six tight ends currently on the Broncos’ roster hail from the same college conference — Jake Butt (Michigan), Jeff Heuerman (Ohio State), Matt LaCosse (Illinois), Troy Fumagalli (Wisconsin) and Austin Traylor (Wisconsin).
