Broncos sign WR Mike Woods

Arkansas transfer with just a single season in Lincoln Riley’s passing game. Woods is a tight-hipped receiver with below-average bend that affects his route running and keeps his work on a vertical plane. He has decent build-up speed and showed improved hands in 2021, but is unlikely to ever be considered a catch winner. Woods has a shot to compete for a practice squad spot but lacks play traits that stand out for the position. The Broncos’ wide receiver room is currently pretty stacked. They made a big trade for superstar wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and have Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Marvin Mims, Pat Bryant, Lil’Jordan Humphrey, and Michael Bandy all returning to the team. On top of that, they have a crop of hungry undrafted rookies looking to make a name for themselves throughout OTAs and minicamp. If Woods wants to stick around, he is likely competing for a spot on the practice squad with Lil’Jordan Humphrey, Michael Bandy, and the undrafted rookies. Woods has some experience, but it will be tough for him to crack the Broncos’ 53-man roster and even their 16-man practice squad. Watching this wide receiver competition play out throughout the offseason and summer will be interesting, and we will see how Mike Woods fares.
