Troy Franklin's 2026 Goals Depend on One Thing From Bo Nix

Troy Franklin's 2026 Goals Depend on One Thing From Bo Nix ties the Denver Broncos’ receiving outlook to quarterback Bo Nix’s return from a limited stint in mandatory minicamp. The article says Nix took part in workouts while restricted but is expected to be fully cleared in time for training camp, which Franklin described as lifting the team’s intensity and helping the offense “get back out there” under Nix’s command. Franklin, who has been a long-time friend and collaborator with Nix since Oregon, said his 2026 focus is becoming more consistent as a playmaker, aiming to make more plays reliably. In February, Franklin predicted a 1,000-yard season and doubling touchdowns, before Denver’s blockbuster trade for Jaylen Waddle reshaped the depth chart. With new offensive coordinator Davis Webb calling primary plays, the piece draws a parallel to Josh Allen’s Year 3 jump, noting that targets and execution will determine whether Franklin reaches 1,000 yards.
