OBT: Caleb Lohner Rising — Nasty Streak, Overlooked Talent & the Broncos’ Sleeper at Tight End
Description
On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey spotlights one of the most intriguing second‑year players on the roster: Caleb Lohner. A seventh‑round pick and former college basketball standout, Lohner has quietly become a Sean Payton favorite — and it’s not hard to see why.
Lohner brings a nasty streak as a blocker, surprising power at the point of attack, and the kind of competitive edge that jumps off the tape. He’s long, athletic, and plays with real attitude — the opposite of a finesse convert. But with Greg Dulcich, Adam Trautman, and Justin Joly in the room, is he the forgotten man at tight end… or the sleeper who could carve out a real role.
We dig into why he’s standing out, how he fits in the rotation, and what his future could look like in Denver’s evolving offense.
