Pat Bryant

22-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bryant was a surprise third-round pick this year, going 74th overall to the Broncos after mostly being discussed as a late-round-selection or priority UDFA. He had a big senior season at Illinois, catching 54 passes for 984 yards and 10 TDs, after recording just 1,111 yards and seven TDs over his first three years. Bryant then ran a disappointing 40, clocking 4.62 at the 2025 Combine, where he weighed in at 6-foot-2, 202 pounds. His jumps were decent -- 37.5-inch vertical, 124-inch broad jump -- but he mostly looks like an average or below-average athlete by NFL standards. Bryant didn't spend much time on special teams in college, so the Broncos apparently expect him to contribute on offense, despite the lack of dominant athleticism or production. He may start off as Courtland Sutton's backup, learning the X receiver position in Sean Payton's offense. Read Past Outlooks

April 25, 2025
The Broncos selected Bryant in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 74th overall.
ANALYSIS
Bryant was more expected to go on Day 3, but coach Sean Payton has a type when it comes to receiver prospects. The Illinois product is tall and lean at 6-foot-2 and 204 pounds. He isn't a workout warrior with 4.61 speed but that didn't stop him from producing. His last two seasons were particularly impressive, as he combined for 17 touchdowns in those years. As a senior, Bryant boosted his YPT from 8.4 to 11.9 despite drawing 17 more targets, which is a positive indicator. It's a crowded receiver room in Denver behind Courtland Sutton with several different intriguing options with different skill sets. It's a good sign for Bryant that he was selected this high, yes, but it's difficult to pinpoint where he fits in alongside Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele.

Bryant's physicality and fearlessness to play in traffic has caught the attention of coaches and players during OTAs and minicamp, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Bryant, the Broncos' third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, has also been in constant communication with teammate Courtland Sutton and wide receivers coach Keary Colbert about routes run during drills. Bryant's work ethic caught the attention of head coach Sean Payton, who highlighted the Illinois product's strong hands in traffic and ability to block and be physical at the line of scrimmage. Bryant will compete against Devaughn Vele, Troy Franklin, Trent Sherfield and A.T. Perry for wide receiver reps on offense behind Sutton and Marvin Mims.
