DaeSean Hamilton, WR

DaeSean Hamilton was a draft pick by the Denver Broncos last coaching staff, back in 2018 along with Courtland Sutton.

Jake Butt's injury progress concerns coaches. dark. Next

Hamilton ran the 40-yard dash at a blazing 4.5-seconds during his Pro Day before the 2018 NFL Draft. He has the ability to be an explosive player and that is something that the Denver Broncos could greatly benefit from at the punt returner position.

It seems very likely that Hamilton will see plenty of returns in his future, as he is second on the team’s depth chart at the punt returner spot, behind River Cracraft.

Hamilton has some trouble staying healthy, which is a problem. I’m not sure how much he will contribute on offense, but I do expect him to be a reliable source on special teams.
