Can be a threat in the passing game

It seems as if the last few years, the Denver Broncos have not had a tight end that could really bail out the quarterback in key situations. We have seen players like Rob Gronkowski, Travis Kelce, and Zach Ertz who could make big plays in situations that calls for it.

Denver was hoping that Jake Butt could be that option, but he has not been healthy to show it on the field, which speaking of I will cover more on that shortly.

Having a receiving tight end that can make plays and come up as a security blanket for Joe Flacco will help keep the offense rolling. T.J. Hockenson can do that.
