- Terrance Ferguson would be a perfect draft pick for the Broncos
Terrance Ferguson landing with the Denver Broncos would feel poetic.
The Oregon tight end prospect was born and raised in Littleton, Colorado and grew up rooting for the New Orleans Saints while Sean Payton was coaching the team. Ferguson also played with Broncos quarterback Bo Nix at Oregon from 2022-2023, earning first-team All-Pac-12 honors during Nix's final season.

Nix and Ferguson connected 42 times for 414 six touchdowns in 2023. Last fall, the tight end totaled 43 receptions for 591 yards and three scores with the Ducks.
"It would be amazing," Ferguson said when asked at the combine what it would be like to reunite with Nix in the NFL. "You know, growing up in Denver, everyone's a Denver Broncos fan. So, just being able to play with a teammate that you had a great relationship with, won a lot of games with -- I would say even more than that, off the field, me and Bo have a great relationship."
Ferguson (6-5, 247 pounds) stood out at the combine, running the fastest 40-yard dash (4.63 seconds) among tight ends. NFL mock drafts have Ferguson going off the board in the fourth round , but his stock might rise following his impressive combine performance.

Tight end is No. 1 on our list of top positions of need for the Broncos this spring and Ferguson would be a great addition to Payton's offense to give Nix another weapon. The 2025 NFL draft will be held in Wisconsin from April 24-26 and Denver holds seven picks .
