Waddle becomes Nix's trusted short-to-long threat; great system fit.

Kevin Nogle believes Waddle is a great fit for Bo Nix and the Broncos offense; Nix will be able to trust that a short throw over the middle could break for a long gain simply because Waddle is the receiver. Waddle will become a favorite target for Nix, and Payton will find ways to create mismatches that get Waddle away from jams and maximize his speed.
