NFL Trade Rumors
Broncos seventh-round TE Caleb Lohner spent two years playing basketball at BYU, followed by two more years playing at Baylor before finally starting his football career at Utah.
“I just had some people at the University of Utah that just believed that I could be a high-level tight end, and so I took the time to watch some film and take a visit there after I had graduated from Baylor, and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made,” Lohner said, via BroncosWire.com. “I couldn’t be more grateful for all the schools that I was at, but especially the University of Utah, their football program, the Whittinghams – [head] Coach Kyle and [tight] Coach Freddie Whittingham.

“I mean, getting the guys back healthy as far as Rashee and having ‘Hollywood’ fully healthy and Xavier in Year Two — I think the offense has the chance to be really, really good,” Mahomes said. “It’s just about keeping building — I’m excited to kind of have these guys again just with — we’ve had a lot of turnover in the receiving room, and it seems like the core group will be back in its entirety.

Chiefs GM Brett Veach described the relationship he has with Eagles GM Howie Roseman and how the two agreed to a late first-round trade to swap one spot in the order.
