Over 40 career games across four seasons in Atlanta, Chicago and Jacksonville, Eric Saubert established himself as a reliable reserve tight end and special teams player.
He’s cemented that rep, and then some, as the Broncos’ new No. 3 tight end thanks to a strong training camp and preseason performance. Saubert’s shown enough for coach Vic Fangio to declare the veteran “a good addition” to an already-talented Denver tight end room.
“He’s definitely a guy you can tell has played in the NFL,” Fangio said. “He likes football, he’s tough, he’s competitive, he’s a good teammate.”
Special teams coach Tom McMahon singled Saubert out for his business-like approach and on-field aggressiveness since signing with the Broncos on May 3.
