Episode Description

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey spotlights one of the most intriguing second‑year players on the roster: Caleb Lohner. A seventh‑round pick and former college basketball standout, Lohner has quietly become a Sean Payton favorite — and it’s not hard to see why.

Lohner brings a nasty streak as a blocker, surprising power at the point of attack, and the kind of competitive edge that jumps off the tape. He’s long, athletic, and plays with real attitude — the opposite of a finesse convert. But with Greg Dulcich, Adam Trautman, and Justin Joly in the room, is he the forgotten man at tight end… or the sleeper who could carve out a real role.

We dig into why he’s standing out, how he fits in the rotation, and what his future could look like in Denver’s evolving offense.

🔥 In this episode:

  • Why Caleb Lohner’s blocking edge is turning heads

  • How a former hooper developed real trench toughness

  • Whether he’s being overlooked in a crowded TE room

  • How his athletic profile fits Payton’s long‑term vision

  • What his future role could become in Denver’s offense

Jump in the comments — is Caleb Lohner a hidden gem, or just waiting for his chance to break out.
