What challenges has Greg Dulcich faced due to injuries?

Cody Roark 1:04
I'm Cody Roark, Broncos reporter for Mile High Sports, joined alongside, as always, by my good friend, Sarah Bettinger. He's the site expert over there at predominantlyorange.com. Sarah, we're continuing the trend of maybe a little bit of forecasting ahead. Yesterday's episode of Lockdown Broncos, for those who may have missed it, make sure you go check it out. We took a look at second-year players who could break out, or what would that look like for them? Make sure you check that out. Today, we transition to year three. These last two episodes really had to do with the last two draft classes for the Denver Broncos in which they did not have a first round pick. They didn't really necessarily have a seventh round pick outside of them trading up for Marvin Mims.
Cody Roark 1:40
And then in the 2022 NFL draft, really that last draft pick that you had got from the Von Miller trade with the Rams that turned out to be Nick Benito. So. We open the floor here today to that 2022 NFL draft class. Which players need to break out or have a breakout year for the team? I think there's one guy in particular that has all the talent in the world that we have our eyes on this upcoming season, especially.
Sayre Bedinger 2:04
That's Greg Dulcich, the tight end, right?

How can Greg Dulcich's performance impact the Broncos' offense?

Sayre Bedinger 2:06
I mean, Nick Benito had his kind of breakout year last year for the Broncos off the edge, forming a really good season overall in terms of sacks, you know, quarterback hits, pressures, tackles for loss, things like that. A lot of progression from him. But Greg Dulcich in year two, I mean, we had all these discussions about, is he the joker of Sean Payton's offense? Is he going to be one of the top tier players? past catching tight ends in the game after such a promising rookie season. And you just hoped that he could shake the hamstring injury issues that plagued him. But unfortunately, it got worse in 2023 for Greg Dulcich. And at this point, now what we've seen from him in two NFL seasons and over two years as a professional football player.
Sayre Bedinger 2:48
is really just, I don't know how much you can rely on Greg Dulcich at all. But for him personally, like we heard Sean Payton say that he's basically looking to exercise the demons this year. Like he wants to put all that stuff in the past and he wants to be able to move forward and just play some ball, which I can't blame him, Cody. I mean, obviously Dulcich is a talented guy. 33 catches his rookie season, 411 receiving yards, a couple of touchdowns, instant impact. when he came into the fold as, you know, that Chargers Monday night football game in Los Angeles just immediately was a factor in the passing game. So we know he can play. We know he can hang with NFL guys. It's just a matter of can you actually play?
Sayre Bedinger 3:29
You know, can you be available?
Cody Roark 3:30
And that's the biggest thing. And look, I think the injury aspect, like for Greg, it's definitely been frustrating. I can tell you that having talked to Greg and having been in the locker room with Greg as he's continuing to rehab from these injuries, it's frustrating.
