Tim Patrick 

Tim Patrick once again proved he is one of the most talented receivers on the roster in Sunday’s win over the Jets. Patrick, finishing the day with 5 receptions for 98 yards, averaged nearly 20 YAC.

And now, the Denver Broncos will need him in a way they have not yet.

With Monday’s confirmation that K.J. Hamler suffered a season-ending ACL injury, Tim Patrick now becomes one of the most important pieces on the Broncos’ offense. Luckily for the team, Patrick has proven he has the capability of making big plays. One of Patrick’s specialties is making catches that would be difficult for most receivers to make.

Broncos Country got a taste of Tim Patrick’s potential in 2020. Now, the rest of the NFL world will see what Patrick can do. Look for him to make a case for the Broncos signing him to a long-term deal.
