veteran Broncos tight end with proven size and field presence
Joe Gardner is a 6-foot-4, 245-pound Western Michigan tight end whose profile points to a classic possession-style mismatch: big enough to work through traffic, reliable enough to be a chain-mover, and experienced enough to fit into a program that values steady, physical football. His public profile and roster history show he’s a long-time Bronco with the kind of frame coaches love for blocking and red-zone work, though there isn’t enough current public stat detail to fairly project him as a high-volume pass catcher. If your team wants a tough, functional TE who can do the dirty work and add stability, he’s worth a look.
