2025 NFL Draft: Denver Broncos select Illinois wide receiver Pat Bryant in the third round

Broncos with their No. 74 overall pick in the third round select Illinois WR Pat Bryant.

Pat Bryant is a 6’2”, 204-pound wide receiver who profiles as a Sean Payton wide receiver. He is a big possession receiver who will help out in the run game. The Athletic’s Dane Brugler

A good-sized target, Bryant plays with quick eyes and confident hands to snare fastballs and get downhill immediately (77.8 percent of his catches in 2024 resulted in a first down or touchdown). He doesn’t have a threatening vertical gear, and his separation burst is average, but he skillfully uses his frame and subtle pushes through the route to finish back-shoulder grabs and crowded catch windows don’t appear to disrupt his concentration. Overall, Bryant isn’t super dynamic, which will be tougher to mask against NFL competition, but his body coordination and ascending technique match well with his natural tracking skills. He projects as a backup possession target who can fight for a WR2 or WR3 role in the right situation.

Bryant is a Sean Payton type of player. A physical, sure-handed wide receiver who loves to block in the run game. He’s not the flashiest of receivers, but he’ll do the dirty work that Payton loves. Remember, Lil’Jordan Humphrey played 50% of the snaps last season, and now Bryant has a chance to fill that role this upcoming season.

Link on Demand offers free rideshare service around communities south of Denver

People in many cities south of Denver now have a new ride option to get them around for free.

The Link on Demand rideshare service will travel around areas including Lone Tree, Highlands Ranch, and select areas of Parker. Many popular areas include:

Town Center, Village Center, and Highlands Ranch Senior Center in Highlands Ranch
Park Meadows Retail Resort, Lone Tree Rec Center, and Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree
Parker AdventHealth Hospital, Downtown and Parker Senior Center, and Twenty Mile/Dransfeldt Shopping Center in Parker
Littleton Mineral Station
Safeway Transfer Hub
Lincoln Station Transfer Hub
Parker RTD Ride and Share

A map shows different areas in Douglas County served by Link on Demand, a free ride-share service.

Link on Demand

Booking Link on Demand is similar to booking an Uber or Lyft. It starts by downloading the Link on Demand app. Then you book the ride and meet up with your driver. The only difference; this ride is free all the time.

Link on Demand is designed to increase mobility, reduce barriers, and support daily travel needs. It helps people who don’t own a car or older adults who can’t drive, for example. The vehicles are ADA-accessible too, so they help people who use wheelchairs and walkers.

Anyone over the age of 13 can ride the service, so this helps if your child misses the bus or needs a ride. This service does operate corner to corner instead of door to door. This means you might have to travel a short distance to your pickup point. Your phone will show you the availability.

This is a Monday through Saturday rideshare service. The hours of operation include:

Monday to Thursday, 7 a.m. through 7 p.m.
Friday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Highlands Ranch and Parker are non-adjacent zones, so you’ll book a two‑leg trip via a Transfer Hub. Here’s how:

1. In the Link On Demand app, book your first on‑demand ride:

From Highlands Ranch to Lincoln Station Transfer Hub or Safeway Transfer Hub, or
From Parker to Lincoln Station Transfer Hub or Safeway Transfer Hub.

2. Ride to the Transfer Hub.

3. After you’re dropped off at the Transfer Hub, open the app and request your second on‑demand ride, from the Transfer Hub to your final destination in the other zone.

4. Wait at the Transfer Hub until your next van arrives. Typical wait times are 15-30 minutes.

If you have any questions, all information can be found here.

Montel Williams’ national tour on school safety kicks off in Denver

Montel Williams’ national tour on school safety kicks off in Denver

DENVER (KDVR) — Many remember Montel Williams as the Emmy-winning daytime talk show host from the 90s. Now, he’s on a tour leading discussions about school safety and the first stop is Denver.

On Thursday, Williams will host a free public forum and open discussion as part of a national tour for his “The Only Way Out is Through” project.

Williams has tackled dozens of important topics over the years, including school safety, for decades.

Williams sat down with FOX31 on Wednesday. He said it’s time to get serious about preventing school shootings.

“It’s time for us to get ahead of this, to be proactive. I hate to use an old cliché phrase, but it takes a whole village to raise a child. Well, it takes an entire community to keep a child safe. And unless the community recognizes their role in keeping that child safe. You know, there’s no telling where this is going to end,” said Williams.

Williams then described how he thought about his grandson’s safety during a recent visit to his school.

“And when I walked up to that school, I’m going to tell you something. Knowing that I was doing this this week, it struck me viscerally and emotionally,” said Williams. “I hate to say it this way. I’m in my last quarter. You know what I mean? I’m at that age where, you know, I’m in the last quarter, and I still have an opportunity to hit a home run in the last second of this game. The home run I want to hit is making sure that my grandson is safe.”

The free public forum will be held from 10 a.m. to noon at Shorter Community AME, 3100 Richard Allen Court in Denver.
