After Noah Fant and Albert Okweugbunam, the unknown rules the Broncos’ tight end room. There’s four players waging a bubble battle if the Broncos count Andrew Beck, three if they don’t. Either way, the Broncos’ former Patriot is guaranteed a roster battler because George Paton signed Adam Prentice out of South Carolina after the NFL Draft.
The uncertainty around Beck may serve as an opportunity. He could find playing time as the third tight end behind Albert O and Fant if Shurmur sees him as the happy medium between a blocker and receiver. If he doesn’t, Beck may wind up looking for a new home before week one.
