Ducks TE Sadiq Eyes Broncos Reunion with Bo Nix at the Combine

Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq confirmed a meeting with the Denver Broncos at the NFL Scouting Combine and said reuniting with former Ducks quarterback Bo Nix would be “awesome.” Sadiq credited Nix for mentoring him in college and noted that if he posts a strong combine (potentially a 4.5-second 40-yard dash), he could be a first‑round candidate for Denver, which is prioritizing tight end depth and even weighing the possibility of moving up to No. 30.

Broncos Bet on Bo Nix and a Recharged Roster for 2026 Rise

Denver enters 2026 with a healthier Bo Nix and a mostly intact roster, fueling optimism that the Broncos could rise as several national rankings place them in the top half of the league. The defense is repeatedly praised (PFSN even labeled it elite) while offense questions linger from 2025, including Nix’s ceiling and overall offensive pop. With Payton at the helm and a strong defensive foundation, analysts see potential for another playoff run, but much depends on Nix continuing to develop and the offense delivering more consistency.

Broncos elevate Webb to OC and Kilgore to QB Coach

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton announced Davis Webb will be Offensive Coordinator and Logan Kilgore will be Quarterbacks Coach. Webb, who joined Denver in 2023 as QB coach and spent 2025 as pass game coordinator/QB coach, contributed to Bo Nix’s historic 7,500-yard, 50-touchdown production and helped the team’s passing offense rise from 20th to 11th in 2025 during his first year as pass game coordinator. Kilgore, previously a Broncos offensive quality control coach, has experience at Bakersfield College, Arkansas State and Isidore Newman and will now work with the tight ends and returners while guiding the Broncos quarterbacks.

OutKick argues Sean Payton isn’t a football genius but a lucky operator—Drew Brees’s arrival, a favorable Broncos schedule, and a few officiating breaks have shaped his legacy, and media narratives have largely shielded him from scrutiny even as a potential Super Bowl run hinges on a backup QB.
