According to Mike Klis of 9News, third-year pro Albert Okwuegbunam, and rookie Greg Dulcich, are expected to compete for the Denver Broncos’ starting tight end position in training camp.
Denver’s third-round selection in the 2022 NFL Draft, Dulcich surprisingly worked with the first-team offense during OTAs and minicamp before ultimately being slowed by a core muscle injury. The 22-year-old was a downfield weapon in college, racking up 1,242 yards on 68 receptions (18.2 yards per catch) over his final two seasons at UCLA.
Meanwhile, Okwuegbunam, drafted in the fourth round by the Broncos in 2020, appeared in 14 games for the team last season, recording 330 yards on 33 catches to go along with two scores.
