From the article

The Broncos' biggest addition to the roster was the blockbuster trade for explosive wide receiver Jaylen Waddle... There's an element of explosiveness that I think as an offense we've lacked for a couple years... you could be first-and-10 and starting a drive and go one-and-done because he takes it 75, 80 yards... His speed and playmaking ability are real, and he figures to be the star of training camp.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Waddle's elite speed and explosiveness expected to transform Broncos offense in 2026.

Jaylen Waddle acquired via blockbuster trade from Miami Dolphins; former first-round pick brings much-needed speed, explosion, and playmaking ability to Broncos offense. Bo Nix highlighted that Waddle adds element of explosiveness offense has lacked, capable of taking plays 75-80 yards on first-and-10; extremely fast with ball in hands and doesn't slow down for cuts. Expected to be star of training camp with many one-on-one reps against Pat Surtain II. Waddle's speed will open up middle of field as safeties must protect deep; will make entire offense better and take touches off other receivers, keeping them fresh.
