Rookie Thomas benchmarked to Burden's 2025 output; must earn offensive snaps.

Zavion Thomas, a rookie wide receiver, is benchmarked against 2025 Luther Burden (Chicago Bears) as a fitting measuring stick for an incoming rookie who will need to play himself into offensive snaps. The source notes Thomas is hard to pin down but expects him to follow a similar trajectory to Burden's rookie-year output. Wide receiver milestones include 1,430 receiving yards (2013 Demaryius Thomas), 14 receiving TDs (2013 Demaryius Thomas), 1,508 receiving yards (franchise record – Marshall), 13 receiving TDs (franchise record – Gordon, Kavanaugh), and 38 combined receiving TDs (2013 Broncos WRs).
