Branden Mack, WR, Temple

Listed at 6-foot-5, 220 pounds, Mack is one of a number of massive wide receiver prospects the Denver Broncos have been bringing in this offseason to go along with some of their smaller, faster players.

Although he’s bigger, Mack is not the strongest wide receiver prospect and concerns scouts have with him include his inability to beat press coverage as well as a habit of not running the crispest routes.

Over the course of the past three seasons, Mack had 15 touchdown receptions and it’s notable any time a player at Temple is picked to wear a single-digit jersey, which are awarded to the toughest players on the team. Mack switched from no. 88 to no. 1 in 2019 and became one of the leaders of the Temple team.

A jack-of-all-trades coming out of the high school ranks, Mack actually didn’t play the wide receiver position until he got to Temple.

Despite his lack of experience at the position maybe compared to other prospects coming out, Mack has tremendous downfield ball-tracking ability and he has a massive catch radius, which he knows how to use to his advantage.

The wide receiver room is going to be a tough one to crack in Denver, but Mack’s size and history on special teams could give him an intriguing edge for a practice squad spot.
