Trading for wide receiver Jaylen Waddle might have cost the Denver Broncos some premium draft capital, but the organization is entirely convinced of the 27-year-old’s talent and character. One of the strengths of the Broncos’ locker room is how everyone buys into the brotherhood culture.

Upon arriving in the Mile High City, Waddle wasted little time trying to connect with his new teammates. Broncos All-Pro left tackle Garett Bolles recently told KOARadio that Waddle “immediately” reached out to build personal bonds, which bodes extremely well. 

“Jaylen Waddle is a stud, man. I got to call him, he called me immediately—wanted to talk to my little man, Kingston. Wanted to talk to my family. Wanted to know about me,” Bolles told KOA. “Obviously, he was going for dinner with Bo [Nix] and some of the guys that were in town. I wish I was here to go with them, but I was out training… He knew about me, and those are the type of guys that we want on our team. You know, he’s going to be a leader.”
