Most of the talk around 2nd-year Denver Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant this offseason has centered around where he lands in the battle for the coveted WR3 role on the roster.
The 1st few weeks of training camp have started to change that conversation a bit, and Bryant might be making a run for a much bigger role than anticipated.
“Pat Bryant is taking over training camp,” David Talks Broncos said on his official YouTube channel on Thursday. “He’s been taking over that WR1 role for Courtland Sutton as he’s been having his vet days
“The team is grooming (Bryant) to transition into the X role for Courtland Sutton,” ESPN’s Zain Dhanani wrote on his official X account on August 5. “Take: I’ve said this since May — there’s always a chance Sutton takes a step back, turns an ankle, etc to open the door for Pat Bryant. Non-zero chance he takes over the X at some point this season.”
“Pat Bryant makes plays every damn day,” Broncos reporter Ryan Edwards wrote on his official X account on Thursday. “Clear WR3 to me.”
