NFL: The Insiders on Jaylen Waddle

Waddle's speed fits Bo Nix's deep-ball system; more vertical opportunity than prior role.

Waddle is positioned for increased deep-ball opportunity with the Broncos; he recorded 64 catches for 910 yards last year in a timing catch-and-run offense under Russell Wilson, but now plays alongside Courtland Sutton with Bo Nix, who leads the NFL in 20-plus yard throws since 2024. This schematic shift allows Waddle to utilize his speed on stretch plays and vertical routes, elevating his role as the number two wide receiver.
