The Denver Broncos' acquisition of star wide receiver Jaylen Waddle is already drawing rave reviews from those who know him best. Former Miami Dolphins teammate and retired offensive lineman Terron Armstead, who shared a locker room with Waddle, recently appeared on NFL Network's "Good Morning Football" to offer a glowing endorsement of the trade.

Armstead's perspective carries significant weight, as he possesses a unique dual understanding of both the player and the system. He played under Broncos Head Coach Sean Payton for nearly a decade with the New Orleans Saints and was Waddle's teammate in Miami for three seasons. This insider knowledge makes his praise particularly noteworthy for Broncos Country.

"It's truly a gift," Armstead said of the trade. He highlighted Waddle's "explosiveness" and "competitiveness," emphatically calling him "a dawg." Armstead also shared a fun locker room tidbit, revealing the Dolphins nicknamed Waddle 'Ski' "because he be sliding on folks," a nod to his elusive, tackle-breaking style after the catch.

Perhaps the most exciting comment for Broncos fans was Armstead's belief that the best is yet to come: "We haven't even seen his best ball yet." This statement is a massive vote of confidence for quarterback Bo Nix, who now has a dynamic, proven weapon to target as he continues his recovery from a postseason ankle injury. The potential for this new connection is one of the most intriguing storylines heading into the 2026 season, promising an explosive new chapter for the Denver offense.
