STM Take

Sutton's second Pro Bowl in 2025 at STTM #25 tier 4 confirms the late-career resurgence under Bo Nix; the trajectory from #82 tier 8 in 2021 to back-to-back top-25 finishes shows the 6'4" frame still wins downfield. Six years between his first and second Pro Bowls is one of the longest gaps among active receivers.

Sutton was born in Brenham, Texas, attended Brenham High School, and was a two-time first-team All-AAC pick at SMU. Denver took him 40th overall in the 2018 NFL Draft. He has made two Pro Bowls (2019, 2025) and accumulated 453 catches for 6,357 yards and 39 TDs across eight NFL seasons, all with Denver.

Strengths

  • Two-time Pro Bowler (2019, 2025); the second nod is rare for a 31-year-old WR who plateaued for half a decade between selections.
  • Career 6,357 receiving yards through eight seasons, all with one team; the relationship-with-system value is built in.

Concerns

  • Age 31 with a small recent uptick; the next dip could be the start of the career-end slide.
  • Recent game log includes a 1.5 PPR Week 18 finale; the floor games still come on a Bo Nix offense.

What to watch: Whether Sutton holds the WR1 role in Denver in 2026 or the offense's youth movement compresses his snap share.
