The Broncos have ranked near the bottom in tight end production for three seasons. The room of Adam Trautman, Lucas Krull and Nate Adkins produced 46 catches for 455 yards and five touchdowns. Twenty-five tight ends posted more by themselves, including Brock Bowers (1,194), Trey McBride (1,146) and Cole Kmet (474).

INDIANAPOLIS – On Monday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Broncos coach Sean Payton watched Nuggets star Nikola “Joker” Jokic dish out a career-high 19 assists against the Pacers. The Broncos now are spending the rest of the week in Indianapolis trying to find their own “Joker.”

Sean Payton was hired as the Denver Broncos head coach heading into the 2023 NFL season. He inherited a team in the middle of a seven-year playoff drought and a high-priced quarterback who wasn’t worth the contract.
