Bentley is a tight end on Denver's roster whose presence should not preclude the Broncos from trying to find a long-term difference maker at the position. JJ Zachariason notes that the future of the tight end position is a total wild card and the team will have to wait and see how the group performs in 2026 before making decisions about the position's long-term direction.

Bentley flashed in his final season in college and was incredibly productive, particularly as a redzone monster with the potential to be a difference maker in the red zone. Engram spoke highly of the rookie tight end duo, and the source believes Bentley's redzone strengths should be highlighted with targeted play calls.

Evan Engram praised Bentley's early progression in training camp alongside fellow rookie Justin Joly, noting both have 'been awesome' and 'responding really well' despite the steep learning curve of the Broncos' offense. Engram stated: 'They're competing. They're handling things the right way. They're doing well in a difficult offense to learn, especially as a rookie, but very proud of the progress they've made.' Bentley saw 23 snaps in the preseason opener versus the Falcons but was not targeted in the passing game. Justin Joly projects Bentley has the size and blocking ability to have a shot to be a future inline tight end for the franchise.
