The Broncos held a virtual interview with him.
The Denver Broncos are among numerous teams showing pre-draft interest in former Ole Miss tight end Dae'Quan Wright, NFL reporter Arye PulliWright had virtual meetings with Denver as well as Miami, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, and Baltimore, and in-person visits with the Cardinals and Cowboys.
Wright began his collegiate career at Virginia Tech before spending his final two seasons with the Rebels. Combined, he totaled 113 catches for 1,603 yards and nine touchdowns across 47 appearances. "Wright is a high-cut, tight-hipped tight end who can stretch the field vertically but lacks fluidity and bend for crisp route breaks from speed," reads his. "He builds speed to threaten defenses, working the vertical limbs of the route tree. He can gain an advantage on linebackers when aligned outside. He’s big and strong enough to improve as a run blocker but needs better technique and commitment in that area. Wright projects as a Day 3 pick who should fight for a role as a TE3/4." Wright is the second notable TE to meet with the Broncos in the run-up to next month's Draft.

Crowded in the sense that every incumbent from last season -- Evan Engram, Adam Trautman, and Lucas Kull -- are slated to return in 2026. Whereas Stowers would likely push Engram for future starting duties, Wright would begin near the back end of the depth chart, competing with Krull for reserve snaps. During February's Scouting Combine, Broncos head coach Sean Payton admitted is still seeking an athletic pass-catcher in the "Joker" mold despite retaining Engram for next year, and RJ Harvey settling into a backup gig behind starting running back J.K. Dobbins.“Every year. We’re always looking for the tight end or running back that has those traits. They’re hard to find, though," Payton told reporters. He added: "So I would say when you do that, you look at the roster differently. You look at tight end differently. So those are positions certainly that would stand out.” Sign up for our free Denver Broncos On SI newsletter, and get breaking Broncos news delivered to your inbox daily!Zack Kelberman is the Senior Editor for Mile High Huddle.
