Caleb Lohner played four years of college basketball and just one season of college football, but that was enough for him to get drafted by the Denver Broncos.

On Sunday The Athletic published a story in which its NFL beat writers identified their favorite draft pick of each of the 32 teams in the league, and former Utah State receiver Jalen Royals and former Utah tight end Caleb Lohner made the list.

The 6-foot-7, 250-pound player began playing football in 2024 and caught four passes — which all went for touchdowns — and a two-point conversion. In his first career game, he caught a 20-yard touchdown pass.
