Yahoo Sports NFL on Jaylen Waddle
From the article
tacked on 12 yards after the catch for a total gain of 35 yards on the play... His superpower is he can run, but he can also stop fast. So when you can do that, you create separation.
STACKED’s take
Waddle's speed and separation skills creating early offensive impact.
Waddle, acquired via trade for Denver's 2026 first-round pick and later-round swaps, integrated into the offense in the preseason game against Green Bay. On one play, Waddle motioned left to right, and Nix 'signaled with his left hand then hit Waddle deep downfield. The veteran receiver whom Denver deemed worth its 2026 first-round pick and later-round swaps tacked on 12 yards after the catch for a total gain of 35 yards on the play.' The source notes Waddle's 'training camp battles with All-Pro cornerback Pat Surtain II have inspired confidence.' Payton said of Waddle: 'His superpower is he can run, but he can also stop fast. So when you can do that, you create separation. You respect the speed and then the brakes.' The Broncos believe Waddle 'will both shift defensive attention away from teammates like Sutton as well as set up Waddle for more of what his 35-yard gain suggests is ahead.'
