Nix is excited to have Waddle at his disposal this coming NFL season.

Waddle, the No. 6 overall pick in the 2021 draft, recorded 5,039 yards and 26 touchdowns over his five-year stint in Miami. Through 16 games last season, he reeled in 64 catches for 910 yards and six touchdowns.
Waddle has been working against elite cornerback Patrick Surtain II in training camp practice.

The Broncos will open up their 2026 regular-season schedule with a Week 1 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sept. 14.
