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.
Poll
What grade would you give the Broncos third round selection?
Metro Denver residents in some areas woke up to wet sidewalks, marking the first measurable moisture the area has received in 24 days. But outside of the foothills, snow still hasn’t arrived, tying 1934 for the second-latest first snowfall on record.
There was fog and a light mist at Denver International Airport, with the temperature at around 40 degrees, as of 6 a.m. There is a 50% chance of light showers in the area through around 10 a.m. before things dry up again. The skies should turn partly cloudy with a high of 49 degrees and a slight wind from the north at 3 to 5 miles per hour, according to a forecast from the National Weather Service in Boulder.
But still no snow. If there isn’t 0.1 inches of snow measured by the end of today, unlikely given where temperatures are at, then the next mark to reach will be Dec. 10, which represents the latest first snowfall ever measured locally. That record was set in 2021.
The next best chance for snow is expected on Thanksgiving morning, when temperatures will dip down into the mid-20s overnight. But the forecast calls for only a slight chance of snow and showers. The high on Thursday is forecast to reach 54 degrees. After that, Sunday, Nov. 30, offers a 50% chance of snow showers.
The weather shouldn’t interfere with the morning commute. But light snow is expected to continue through the I-70 corridor for those heading up into the mountains.
The first major renovations in Civic Center Park for the first time in 100 years began this week. The City of Denver wants to make the park more inviting for events and people while preserving the area’s history.
The park is a popular spot for concerts, protests, and festivals based on its central location in downtown Denver and also its large lawn space with flowers and concrete paths.
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston said the park is in need of a makeover while embracing its past.
“We are both custodians of the history of this place, and we are also caretakers of the future, which means we have to make sure that we make the investments like this to prepare this public space for the next 100 years of events,” said Johnston.
Phase one of the renovations is expected to be complete by Summer 2027.
DENVER — We’re in for a quiet night ahead, staying mostly dry and mild. The waiting game begins as the next system approaches Colorado.
Clouds increase throughout Thursday with cooler afternoon highs in the low 50s.
A complex storm arrives, and with models disagreeing on the details, confidence remains low for snowfall in the metro.
Expect rain to move in first. Pockets of rain and snow are possible later, mainly across higher terrain and areas farther east.
Rain returns Thursday; snow stays mostly in the higher terrain
On Friday morning, rain will continue for most of the metro and plains.
However, the Front Range mountains, foothills, and the Palmer Divide could see snow accumulation.
Precipitation should taper off Friday afternoon as the system weakens and moves east.
Heading into the weekend, dry air returns with temperatures bouncing back to slightly above normal.
We should stay quiet through the weekend.
