Tight end Albert Okwuegbunam was drafted in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Denver Broncos with their 118th overall selection. Since then, he has flashed in a reserve role for them but could be on the verge of a breakout season in Nathaniel Hackett’s offensive system with quarterback Russell Wilson under center.
Okwuegbunam has played in 18 games the past two seasons with a total of six starts under his belt. In those 18 games and 6 starts, he has totaled 44 receptions for 451 yards and 3 touchdowns. After his rookie season was cut short by a torn ACL, Okwuegbunam bounced back in 2021 by totaling 33 receptions for 330 yards and 2 touchdowns.
