Broncos Rookie TE Savors First Touchdown and Sets Sights on More


Santa Clara,

It was only a preseason game, but for one Denver Broncos tight end, the moment carried the weight of years of work and the promise of a career just beginning.

The Broncos were deep in San Francisco territory when the play was called — a simple route, a clean release, and a strike over the middle. Seven yards later, the ball was in the end zone and the celebration began.

For a first-year player who had fought his way into the league as an undrafted free agent, the score wasn’t just another stat. It was validation — the kind of milestone that turns belief into certainty.

"The moment I crossed that goal line, it felt like every hour of work, every setback, every sacrifice was worth it. First touchdown down — now it’s time to chase many more for this team,"
Caden Prieskorn

Prieskorn’s touchdown came from quarterback Sam Ehlinger, capping a drive that highlighted Denver’s depth on offense. His sure hands and smooth route-running provided a glimpse of the red-zone potential the Broncos hope to tap this season.

At Ole Miss in 2024, Prieskorn was a reliable target, posting 449 yards and seven touchdowns, earning All-SEC Honorable Mention honors. His size and catch radius made him one of the conference’s most trusted pass-catchers at the position.

Signed by Denver after the 2025 NFL Draft, the rookie has been working to earn a roster spot behind veterans in the tight end room. Coaches have praised his football IQ and willingness to contribute on special teams.

With his first touchdown now behind him, Prieskorn’s focus shifts to consistency. For the Broncos, that means finding ways to keep his production rolling — and for the rookie, it means proving he belongs in the league for the long haul.

Chiefs Linked To Saints Super Star With 5x Pro Bowl & 2x All-Pro in Blockbuster Trade, Per Source
Kansas City, MO — According to a circulating on X (Twitter), the Kansas City Chiefs have been “linked” to Alvin Kamara—the New Orleans Saints superstar, five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro—as a potential target ahead of the trade deadline. The speculation has heated up as various outlets have also floated Kamara as a logical “fit” should the Chiefs look to add a versatile, late-season playmaker on offense. At 30, Kamara is a rare dual-threat RB who excels as both a runner and receiver. He tied the NFL single-game record with six rushing touchdowns (Christmas Day 2020 vs. the Vikings), and he has recently been recognized as the Saints’ all-time leader in rushing yards. Across his career: 5× Pro Bowl, 2× Second-Team All-Pro, and a skill set tailor-made for Andy Reid’s motion/spacing concepts—screens, angle/choice routes, safe check-downs, and short play-action. Tactically, if a move ever materialized, Kamara would immediately put stress on short-to-intermediate coverages, force defenses to roll a safety, and give Kansas City intriguing two-back looks alongside Isiah Pacheco on 3rd-and-medium and in the red zone. In this hypothetical scenario, Kamara voices a desire for a fresh challenge after hitting so many personal milestones in New Orleans: “I’ve achieved just about everything with the Saints, and I want a new challenge for myself. What could be better than a team competing directly for a Super Bowl? Just thinking about wearing Red and Gold really excites me.” Source: @nflrums X As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the Chiefs or the Saints regarding any talks. Still, Kamara’s résumé and toolbox explain why his name is quickly paired with Kansas City whenever rumors of an offensive upgrade surface. With 5× Pro Bowls, 2× All-Pro honors, and a proven knack for tilting games as both a runner and receiver, even a whisper on social media is enough to make Chiefs Kingdom perk up.
