Jeff Heuerman, by default, is the Broncos’ most proven tight end on the roster — despite having everything to prove.
Denver picked the former Ohio State standout No. 92 overall (third round) in the 2015 NFL draft and Sports Illustrated opined the star of the Broncos’ draft class “could turn out to be tight end Jeff Heuerman.” That has not happened. Heuerman may have to fight to earn a spot on the roster this summer. That’s partially due to injuries (torn ACL in rookie mini-camp) but mainly his performance when healthy. Heuerman has just 18 catches for 293 yards and two touchdowns in his NFL career.
