Broncos LT Garett Bolles reacts to WR's arrival: 'Jaylen Waddle's a stud'

The Denver Broncos are getting even more excited for 2026, and a lot of it has to do with the momentum coming off of the 2025 season.

One thing Denver needed more of in 2025 was explosive playmakers; so when the Broncos front office went out and traded for wide receiver Jaylen Waddle from the Miami Dolphins, it felt like an immediate step in the right direction.

All-Pro left tackle Garett Bolles agreed. "Jaylen Waddle's a stud man," Bolles said during an appearance with 850 KOA, the Broncos' radio affiliate. "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. Obviously, he was going to dinner with Bo and some of the guys who were in town... he knew about me. Those are the type of guys that we want on our team. He's going to be a leader."

Bolles made just his second foray into the playoffs in his career in 2025, and finally tasted playoff success for the first time in his Broncos career. Denver fell just four points short of a Super Bowl appearance last season, and the club will look to take the ultimate step forward in 2026.

Next up is the NFL draft this week, followed by the start of the offseason program in early May, before the work finally begins in earnest with training camp later in the summer.
