Henry Krieger-Coble

Krieger-Coble, an undrafted tight end out of Iowa, is perhaps the Broncos’ most talented UDFA pickup of the offseason.

He only played one full season as a starter for Kirk Ferentz and the Hawkeyes, but was productive, and proved he has some of the best hands in the country.

At the Senior Bowl, I don’t know that there was a pass Krieger-Coble let hit the ground all week. The Broncos want him to add some weight, but he’s a perfect fit for the offense and could earn a roster spot with the Broncos having questionable depth at the position.

At worst, I think he’ll be a priority player for them to get on the practice squad and continue to develop physically.
