I believe Broncos rookie tight end Justin Joly can do the same this season. Joly, who many considered a potential Day 2 selection, fell into the 5th round, where the Broncos selected him. He's a slightly undersized tight end, but has plus athleticism and projects as a pass-catching tight end for the Broncos. I think he is a breakout candidate simply because the Broncos' tight end room is not great.

STACKED’s take

5th-round rookie TE with breakout potential due to weak Broncos depth chart.

5th-round rookie tight end with plus athleticism and pass-catching projection; breakout candidate due to weak Broncos TE room. Incumbent starters Adam Trautman (in-line) and Evan Engram (pass-catching specialist) both underperformed as pass catchers in 2025, creating opportunity for Joly to push for bigger role. Source compares him to Browns rookie Harold Fannin Jr., who had a breakout 2025 season, and projects Joly as potential red-zone asset who could thrive against second/third-team defenses in camp and preseason.
