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.
