With the addition of rookie tight end Greg Dulcich in the third round of the draft, Okwuegbunam may find himself sharing duties at the position in 2022, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.
With Noah Fant slated to head to the Seahawks in the looming Russell Wilson trade, Okwuegbunam currently profiles as the Broncos' top option at tight end, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
A productive tight end for three years in college, he was a featured red zone target who converted a high percentage of receptions into touchdowns. Excels at using his massive frame to block out defenders and win position battles. Exhibits great arm extension and uses length to snatch catches outside his frame. Is sufficient in his blocking skills to play every down. A straight-line player, he lacks the play speed and agility to run every type of route or add yards after the catch.
Long Range Potential: Functional tight end with some playmaking skills.
