After being picked by the Denver Broncos in the third round of the NFL draft, former Illinois wide receiver Pat Bryant is set to join a rising young quarterback who helped lead Denver to a playoff berth as a rookie last fall.
“I’ve seen a lot of great things,” Bryant said of his new quarterback. “It’s crazy because I was just at the Senior Bowl with Tez Johnson, his adopted brother, and we were kind of talking about him and his dream of playing with him. So just having an opportunity to play with a great quarterback like Bo Nix, it’ll be very, very special.”
Bryant hauled in 54 receptions for 984 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2024, averaging 18.2 yards per catch. All four categories were career highs for the senior receiver. In the NFL, Bryant will team up with Nix, who totaled 3,775 passing yards and threw 29 touchdown passes in his first year in the league.
Denver fans will get their first opportunities to see Bryant in live action when the Broncos play three preseason games later this summer.
