Newton pointed to the tandem that Waddle will form with Courtland Sutton and what it will do for Bo Nix’s development. <\/p>\n \u201cEvery great receiver has a counterpart\u2026 Do I think [Waddle] has number one skill? Yes. Can he be a number one? Yes. But I don\u2019t think that\u2019s what he needs. Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle, that tandem right there, will give defenses fits. It\u2019ll be the greatest thing for the development of Bo Nix,\u201d Newton said on his 4th-&-1 With Newton podcast<\/a>. <\/p>\n Waddle’s Impact Dec 21, 2025; Miami Gardens, Florida, USA; Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (17) runs the ball during the second quarter against the Cincinnati Bengals at Hard Rock Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-Imagn Images | Sam Navarro-Imagn Images<\/p>\n Whatever you think about Newton’s tendency to shoot from the hip, he hit the nail on the head about how the Waddle trade changes things for Nix.\u00a0Much will hinge on effectively blending Waddle’s explosive speed and yards-after-the-catch ability with Sutton’s knack for coming down with contested catches in heavy traffic and scoring in the red zone.\u00a0<\/p>\n Undoubtedly, Nix stands to benefit most if the Broncos can get their vision and flow right on offense. New offensive coordinator and primary play-caller Davis Webb will have to hit the ground running with this team firmly in its Super Bowl window.\u00a0<\/p>\n The dedication Nix has to his craft will also come to bear, but the more time Waddle can spend working closely with his quarterback and fellow wide receivers, the more of a running start the new-look Broncos offense will have. <\/p>\n Thankfully, the 27-year-old Waddle is as far removed from being a ‘diva’ receiver as he could possibly get, so the Broncos are confident he’ll mesh well with the locker room culture Payton has worked hard to cultivate since arriving back in 2023. <\/p>\n Don’t Forget About Mims<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\"){kind=icon}
