In his latest four-round 2020 NFL mock draft for Draft Wire, Luke Easterling has the Broncos selecting a wide receiver whose name will probably sound familiar to many fans in Denver.
In the third round of the mock draft, Easterling has the Broncos selecting USC wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr., the son of former NFL running back Michael Pittman.
The elder Pittman won Super Bowl XXXVII with the Buccaneers and spent one year in Denver (2008). He was nearing the end of his career when he signed with the Broncos but Pittman still averaged 4.2 yards per carry and scored four touchdowns as a rotational running back in Denver.
His son had a breakout season as a senior, catching 101 passes for 1,275 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2019. Denver could certainly use more depth at wide receiver so Pittman would make sense as a mid-round pick.
With their six other picks in Draft Wire’s mock, the Broncos land another receiver, an offensive lineman, a defensive lineman, a linebacker and two defensive backs. To view the complete four-round mock draft, click here.
