Daniel Graham's experience and Super Bowl rings bring cachet to the Broncos' tight end rotation.
| No. | Name | Ht. | Wt. | Yr. |
| 89 | Daniel Graham | 6-3 | 257 | 7 |
| 81 | Nate Jackson | 6-3 | 235 | 6 |
| 83 | Mike Leach | 6-2 | 240 | 9 |
| 85 | Chad Mustard | 6-6 | 277 | 5 |
| 84 | Brett Pierce | 6-5 | 260 | 3 |
| 88 | Tony Scheffler | 6-5 | 250 | 3 |
Starter: Daniel Graham.
Backups: Tony Scheffler, Nate Jackson, Mike Leach, Chad Mustard, Brett Pierce.
The lowdown: Graham can dominate at the line of scrimmage, but he wants to be more involved in the passing game. Scheffler can be a down-the-field option if his foot injury is healed.
Good to know: Scheffler, with 49 catches in ’07, was the first Broncos tight end to finish with more than 40 catches in a season since Shannon Sharpe had 62 in ’03.
