Speedy WR had private workout with Broncos before NFL draft

Even after trading for Jaylen Waddle, the Denver Broncos appear to still be in the market for wide receivers. Texas Tech receiver Caleb Douglas (6-3, 206 pounds) had a private workout for the Broncos ahead of the 2026 NFL draft, according to Jordan Schultz of The Schultz Report . Douglas turned heads at the NFL combine when he ran an impressive 40-yard dash in 4.

39 seconds. The 22-year-old receiver spent the first two years of his college career at Florida before transferring to Texas Tech. He earned second-team All-Big 12 recognition last fall after totaling 54 receptions for 846 yards and seven touchdowns in 14 games.

Schultz described Douglas as a potential Day 2 pick, but NFL. com's Lance Zierlein has him projected as a fifth- or sixth-round prospect who might have to fight for a roster spot. "Douglas’ focus drops and an inability to win contested catches at a high enough rate can’t be overlooked," Zierlein wrote for the league's official website.

Following the Waddle trade last month, Denver holds seven picks in the 2026 NFL draft (April 23-25), including a fifth-round selection and three picks in the seventh (and final) round. Social : Follow Broncos Wire on Facebook and Twitter/X ! Did you know : These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans .
