Broncos dubbed a ‘perfect landing spot’ for WR Pat Bryant

[ASFN Admin]

The Denver Broncos drafted Pat Bryant, a wide receiver from the Illinois Fighting Illini, with the 74th pick in the 2025 NFL draft last week. Bryant, who played all four years with the Illini, finished his career tying Brandon Lloyd for most touchdowns in a season (10) and ended third in the Big Ten conference in touchdowns and receiving yards.

According to Draft Wire’s Paul M. Banks, Bryant's keeping his school colors and changing locations is a win for the Broncos. Banks highlighted how Bryant’s versatility could help Denver second-year quarterback Bo Nix continue to flourish.

You saw that at the Senior Bowl, where his performance helped to offset his disappointing showing at the combine. He is a vertical threat who can easily go over the top on opposing DBs, and everyone was able to see that on his tape. Bryant is going to give second year starting quarterback Bo Nix another big target to work with, and that should help the young QB1 further develop quicker.

While Bryant may not have the speed (4.61 40 time), he has the size (6-3, 200 pounds) that could should him a threat in head coach Sean Payton’s offense.
