Denver Broncos wide receiver Devaughn Vele, left, takes part in a drill during the NFL football team’s rookie minicamp, Saturday, May 11, 2024, in Centennial, Colo. Sean Payton was in the midst of making a point about something else Saturday after Day 2 of Broncos rookie minicamp when he noted one of the day’s clearest developments.
Anything can be overblown in May, but the Broncos head coach was clearly impressed by Vele, the 26-year-old rookie. The Broncos liked him, drafted him No. 235 overall and right away used another overlooked receiver out of Utah as the player comp: Tim Patrick. Patrick has missed the past two seasons due to injuries but Payton had planned to use him in a variety of ways, including as a big slot. Vele projects in a similar way, the coach said, as somebody who can operate in the middle of the field or play the “X.”
So far, Broncos top receiver Courtland Sutton has skipped the team’s voluntary workouts. Assuming he’s back for training camp — Sutton’s under contract for two more years and would incur fines for missing camp or Denver’s three-day mandatory minicamp in June — Denver’s got what is shaping up to be an interesting competition at receiver. Sutton, Marvin Mims Jr. and Josh Reynolds are joined by Patrick, the rookie duo of Franklin and Vele and others like Brandon Johnson and Lil’Jordan Humphrey.
