Denver Broncos Find Late Gem in Former College Basketball Player
The Denver Broncos have found a hidden gem in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Broncos drafted Caleb Lohner in the seventh round with the 241st overall pick. Lohner is an interesting story because he played college basketball for Baylor from 2022-2023 after transferring from BYU where he played from 2020-22.
Last season was his first time playing college football as he played in all 12 games catching four passes. Lohner was very excited to play in his first collegiate game against Baylor last season.
“It was awesome. It was everything I expected and more. It was an awesome win—fun to see the team out there. For me, it was fun to see how the game operates, how the pregame works, and how the process of the game works. But it was awesome. It makes me excited for our next opponent.”
