Having a tight end who can stretch the field vertically, consistently move the chains on third downs and be a threat in the red zone is important for any offense. Wouldn’t it be nice for the Denver Broncos to finally have that kind of player?
Since the departure of Julius Thomas in free agency several seasons ago, the franchise has lacked a difference maker at the position. In fact, the team’s tight end production has ranked in the bottom portion of the league every year since then and their efficiency on offense has suffered greatly because of it.
