Overview
- Denver agreed to a standard four-year rookie contract with Dallen Bentley, as DNVR’s Zac Stevens reported and Yahoo Sports relayed.
- Bentley is set to join the team for rookie minicamp, where he will compete for a depth role at tight end.
- At Utah last season, the 6-foot-4, 253-pound target logged 48 catches for 620 yards and six touchdowns, and he played through a broken finger with no drops credited by PFF.
- The Athletic’s Dane Brugler graded him as a fourth-to-fifth-round talent, praised his feel for soft spots in zone coverage, and flagged run blocking as the skill he must grow.
- Coach Sean Payton views him as a bigger in-line option with downfield ability, and he will battle for snaps behind Adam Trautman and Evan Engram alongside fellow rookie Justin Joly.
