See the full story · 1 sourcesDenver Broncos wide receiver Jaylen Waddle expressed his appreciation for how his new teammates and fans have quickly embraced him at training camp earlier this week.
"The Broncos fans are great," Waddle said after Tuesday's practice session. "Just coming out here and just taking time out the middle of the day during a work week to come out here and just see us compete against each other is great. It’s packed every day. It’s great. They’re very loud, and we can hear them and they give us energy."
Waddle came to Denver in a blockbuster trade from the Miami Dolphins this spring, and quickly integrated himself with his new teammates. Quarterback Bo Nix took Waddle out to dinner his first night in town, and Waddle was seen with former college roommate Pat Surtain several times this offseason.
Multiple teammates also celebrated Waddle's arrival. Left tackle Garett Bolles spoke on the phone with Waddle, and offensive lineman Quinn Meinerz celebrated a bowling strike with Waddle's signature touchdown dance. For his part, Waddle calls the team "a big family."
"They welcomed me with open arms since Day 1," Waddle said. "I kind of grew to (know) not just Pat, but my receiver group, and the defense and everyone. It’s like a big family here. It just makes it easy to come to work. It makes it easy to come to work, go out there and compete in front of the fans on days like this."

— Guerilla Sports (@guerillasports) August 4, 2026 Waddle's presence gives Nix and the offense a new dimension, and a new look heading into the 2026 season. Waddle will likely share a large volume of targets with veteran Courtland Sutton as the offense takes shape moving forward. Waddle has already been a featured part of the offense early in camp, and fans hope that he will make the same explosive impact when the Broncos ' regular season schedule kicks off in September. For now, Waddle and his teammates return to training camp Thursday morning.
