Press Article: Broncos Eye Tight End Talent at NFL Combine
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has significant connections to this year’s NFL Combine, particularly through his brother Tez Johnson, who showcased his talents as a wide receiver from Oregon. Alongside other former Oregon players, including running back Jordan James and tight end Terrance Ferguson, Johnson engaged with NFL teams in Indianapolis. The Broncos notably met with all three, as they have pressing needs across these positions, with tight end ranking among their top roster priorities.
Ferguson’s performance during the Combine raised eyebrows, particularly since he clocked in at 4.63 seconds in the 40-yard dash, making him the fastest tight end at the event. The 6-foot-5, 247-pound athlete earned first-team All-PAC-12 honors in 2023 while playing alongside Nix and was recognized as a third-team pick in 2024. His local roots from Heritage High School in Littleton, Colorado, and ongoing friendship with Nix further strengthen his ties to the Broncos. “I’m still really good friends with Bo… my whole family roots for the Broncos,” Ferguson expressed at the Combine.
With the Broncos already featuring a roster that includes several Oregon alumni, such as wideout Troy Franklin and offensive lineman Alex Forsyth, there’s a growing connection to the program in Denver. This year’s tight end draft class is particularly competitive, yet Ferguson, previously expected to be a fourth-round pick, may now rise as teams reevaluate their prospects following the Combine.
As the Broncos look to bolster their roster, Ferguson stands out as a viable option to address their tight end needs in the upcoming draft. Stay updated with the latest Broncos news and analysis by signing up for our daily newsletter.
