Jeff Heuerman

Stats

Receptions: 14

Receiving yards: 114

Touchdowns: 1

The Broncos once used a third-round pick on Heuerman but he has never materialized and will really never be more than a No. 2 tight end, at best.

He is not a threat to stretch the field and his career numbers are proof that he just isn’t much of an offensive weapon, leaving his future with the team in doubt. Of course, that was in doubt the moment Fant was selected.

Having just 14 receptions while playing in 14 games just doesn’t cut it, and the Broncos can do better for a backup tight end in the future.

Grade: D

Jake Butt

Butt missed the entire season after being placed on injured reserve due to complications from a previous injury.

For his entire career, Butt has eight catches for 85 yards. There’s not much more to say other than he has turned into one of the most disappointing players in recent team history.

Grade: I (Incomplete)
