The Denver Broncos had “extensive talks” with Kansas State draft prospect Ben Sinnott at the Senior Bowl, the tight end revealed during his media availability at the NFL combine in February.
The Broncos got a close look at all of the tight ends at this year’s Senior Bowl because quality control coaches Logan Kilgore (National team) Zack Grossi (American team) were assigned to coach TEs at the all-star game. Sinnott played for Grossi’s squad.
Sinnott (6-4, 250 pounds) is a tight end/fullback hybrid who ran a 40-yard dash in 4.68 seconds and a 10-yard split in 1.59 seconds at the combine. He posted career highs in receptions (49), receiving yards (676) and touchdowns (six) as a senior last fall.
After earning first-team All-Big 12 recognition in 2022 and 2023, Sinnott now projects as a mid-to-late-round prospect. If picked by the Broncos, he would likely get opportunities at both TE and FB, similar to the role that Nate Adkins played last season.
The 2024 NFL draft will be held in Detroit from April 25-27.
