Denver Broncos tight end Jeff Heuerman has been in the NFL since the 2015 season.
He spent the 2015 season on injured reserve after unfortunately tearing his ACL in rookie minicamp.
He played a backup role in 2016 and 2017, showing flashes of his pass catching ability and athleticism after the catch.
He’s hauled in 18 total passes over the past two seasons combined, and entered the 2018 offseason (a contract year) as the Broncos’ top tight end.
After Vance Joseph threatened essentially to cut players like Carlos Henderson, who was missing practice with a nagging injury at OTAs, it was nothing short of shocking when the Broncos’ first depth chart was released, and Heuerman maintained his spot as the top tight end despite not having practiced the majority of training camp.
