Broncos Battles: Troy Franklin vs. Pat Bryant — Who Wins WR3 Battle in 2026 | Orange & Blue Today
Description
It’s a special VERSUS edition of Orange & Blue Today, and Cecil Lammey goes solo to break down one of the most important camp battles on the entire roster: Troy Franklin vs. Pat Bryant for the Broncos’ No. 3 wide receiver job. Franklin enters Year 3 with a résumé full of mixed results — an early‑season surge in 2025 followed by a late‑season fade that left big questions about consistency, physicality, and trust. Can he stabilize his game and reclaim the momentum he flashed last fall. Bryant, meanwhile, is entering Year 2 with true “X” receiver upside — size, strength, and clutch‑catch ability that mirrors the role Courtland Sutton currently owns. The big question: Is Bryant more than just a waiting receiver behind Sutton. Could his frame, toughness, and reliability secure him the WR3 job outright. And with Davis Webb calling plays, the WR3 role changes dramatically. Targets will be spread among Evan Engram, RJ Harvey, and the top two receivers — Jaylen Waddle (superstar WR1) and Sutton (the consistent outside force). So who fits the offense better. Who earns the trust. Who wins the job. This battle is real. It’s close. And it might define the shape of Denver’s passing game in 2026. 🔥 In this episode: Why Franklin’s Year‑3 volatility makes this battle fascinating How Bryant’s “future X” traits could push him ahead What Davis Webb’s offense means for WR3 targets How Waddle and Sutton’s roles shape the competition Who truly fits the Broncos’ 2026 passing identity Drop your take — who wins the WR3 job: Franklin or Bryant.
