ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Bo Nix was being chased like it was elementary school recess.During a red-zone period at Saturday’s structured scrimmage, the third-year quarterback was immediately flushed to his right after the snap as the interior of Denver’s defensive line broke through. As he tilted his body at a 45-degree angle he made a heave toward the back corner of the end zone. It was a play, at first glance, that seemed to have a low probability of success, particularly because the intended receiver was draped by two defenders.Then, as has been the case so often during these first two weeks of training camp, Pat Bryant happened. The second-year wideout, a third-round pick last year out of Illinois, secured his vice grip around the ball and held onto it as he hit the ground, his toes scraping the back of the end zone.“He made two (plays) today that were unbelievable,” said Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, who ran Saturday’s scrimmage while Sean Payton attended Drew Brees’ Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Canton, Ohio. “It’s been like that all camp. That’s what he can be, man. He’s the guy in that room, in my opinion — he blocks; he catches the ball in traffic, he tracks the ball vertically, he’s great in the run game — he’s the complete package. He loves to play and he’s the same player every day.”Bryant made encouraging strides during the second half of his rookie season, even as he missed two games due to concussions. He finished with 31 catches for 378 yards and a touchdown, establishing himself as a reliable target in traffic. From Week 9 through the end of the season, only Courtland Sutton (25) was targeted by Nix on third down more often than Bryant (11), signaling the franchise quarterback’s growing trust in the young receiver.Nix excited for addition of WaddleNick KosmiderIn this camp, whether he’s lined up outside of Nix or Jarrett Stidham or Sam Ehlinger, every Broncos quarterback is trusting Bryant in all parts of the field. Payton has lauded Bryant’s ability to move after the catch. The Broncos weren’t dreadful in that area last season — the 4.3 yards after the catch per reception among the team’s wide receivers ranked 13th in the NFL, according to TruMedia — but it’s an area Payton believes they can exploit with greater success in 2026, particularly with the addition of Jaylen Waddle.
