The Denver Broncos need a jolt at the tight end position, and Brian Parker is going to be an important piece of the puzzle.
When the Broncos initially acquired Parker, it was nothing out of the ordinary as far as general operations go. The team usually has a tight end on the practice squad or in a very deep backup position who can block pretty well, and who has ideal size for an NFL tight end.
This doesn’t always mean that player is going to come in and play a Rob Gronkowski role for a team, though seeing a 6-foot-5, 265-pound player who can catch passes and run routes is always impressive.
