Denver Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant has been nominated for the NFL’s Rookie of the Week award for his performance against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11.
The Broncos‘ third round pick out of Illinois had a team-high five catches for 82 yards, the biggest catch coming on a 48-yard pass from quarterback Bo Nix. Bryant caught the ball in stride and went into Kansas City territory on a drive which ended in a field goal.
Bryant began the season as a blocking wide receiver, a role he excelled at. His first touchdown catch came against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8, a beautiful over-the-shoulder catch, with a toe-tap to boot.
Bryant’s competition for the Rookie of the Week is stiff.
