Broncos Add Another Pass-Catcher With Albert Okwuegbunam
5 years agoThe Denver Broncos used the 118th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft to add yet another pass-catcher for quarterback Drew Lock. Missouri tight end Albert Okwuegbunam will join a Broncos draft class that already includes wide receivers Jerry Jeudy and K.J. Hamler, who were their first and second picks, respectively. At 6-foot-6, Okwuegbunam is a huge red-zone target, as evidenced by his six touchdowns in just nine games last season. He should contribute as a rookie in two-tight end sets playing behind 2019 draftee Noah Fant. With all of Denver's offensive weapons now in tow, it's unlikely that Okwuegbunam will carve out a huge role in his rookie season, however.
