The Denver Broncos took a huge step forward with the blockbuster trade for Jaylen Waddle last week.

Waddle brings a WR1 mentality to the Broncos offense, which will hopefully be headed up by a healthy Bo Nix under center, and a new play caller in Davis Webb, trying to unleash the potential of the offense. Fans and pundits alike believe Waddle will help propel a Broncos team that made it to the AFC Championship game to even greater heights in 2026, specifically going into Super Bowl LXI.

And some say they have the math to prove it.

Check out this fun math from Ryan Koenigsberg of DNVR Broncos:

Now, if your head is swimming with all those numbers, you’re not alone. For Denver and the other 31 teams, the season is still months away. There’s a draft which needs to take place, rookie minicamps, schedule releases, offseason activities, training camp, the preseason and most importantly, 17 (or, more optimistically, 20) games to be played before Super Bowl LXI.

But, with Waddle joining an already potent offense, there may be some merit to the math. Waddle joins Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin and Co. in a wide receiver room primed for a breakout season.

Time will tell if the math adds up. Fans are hoping it does!
