Sean Payton on rookie TE Caleb Lohner: “There are traits there that excite me.”

With their final pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos selected Utah tight end Caleb Lohner in the 7th round. He played one year of football and is a 6’7” athlete transitioning from basketball to football who appears to have caught the eye of Broncos head coach Sean Payton.

Payton met with the media on Saturday after the Broncos' rookie minicamp and once again compared the rookie tight end to former Saints tight end Jimmy Graham and hyped up the potential of Lohner.
