Broncos roster: WR Joseph Manjack (No. 86) competing at crowded position

Broncos Wire‘s 91-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at rookie wide receiver Joseph Manjack (No. 86).

Before the Broncos: Manjack (6-3, 210 pounds) bounced around the college ranks, starting his career at USC in 2021. In 11 games (seven starts), Manjack caught seven passes for 67 yards before transferring to Houston, where he played from 2022-24. Manjack appeared in five games in 2022, but his time was limited due to a hand injury. Manjack rarely wore gloves, and became a campus sensation when he caught a one-handed pass for a touchdown against UTSA. In 2023-24, Manjack was rewarded for his toughness by being voted by his teammates to wear No. 0, a sign of his mental toughness.

In 2023, Manjack started 10 games, catching 46 passes for 577 yards and a career-high six touchdowns. In 2024, Manjack followed his performance by starting 11 games, hauling in 22 passes for 351 yards and three scores. In 2025, Manjack transferred a final time to TCU, where he finished his college football career. Manjack started all 11 contests, catching 44 passes for a career-high 579 yards and three touchdowns last fall.

Broncos tenure: Manjack was one of 13 undrafted free agents signed by the Denver Broncos in the immediate aftermath of the 2026 NFL draft. Manjack will make his Denver debut during preseason this summer.

Chances to make the 53-man roster: Slim. Manjack enters a crowded wide receiver room which features the likes of Jaylen Waddle, Marvin Mims and Courtland Sutton. Manjack may not be with the Broncos by the time roster cuts happen in August, but he could be a candidate to find a spot on the practice squad.
