Broncos rookie WR Kolbe Katsis seeks spot as returner in 2026
Summary

Rookie wide receiver Kolbe Katsis, wearing No. 81 for the Denver Broncos, aims to secure a role as a kick returner this summer. Katsis had a strong collegiate career at Pittsburg State and Northern Arizona, noted for his dual-threat capability as a wide receiver and return specialist. Despite going undrafted in 2026, he signed with the Broncos and caught the team's attention due to his skillset. The competition for a return role is notable as the Broncos' wide receiver lineup is deep, but he remains a possible candidate, especially if Marvin Mims takes on a larger role in the offense.
