Troy Franklin, the Denver Broncos' third-year wide receiver, may find himself under scrutiny ahead of the 2026 season. Despite ranking second on the team in receptions in 2025, his role could diminish with the emergence of Pat Bryant and the acquisition of Jaylen Waddle in March. Franklin needs to showcase his skills during summer practices to secure his position on the 53-man roster. Previously drafted in 2024, Franklin had a mixed performance in his first two seasons but showed improvement last year with six touchdowns and over 700 receiving yards.
