Social Media Sleuths Uncovered Evidence That The Denver Broncos Are Guaranteed To Win Super Bowl 61 After The Jaylen Waddle Trade
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
A heads-up internet sleuth thinks there is evidence that the Jaylen Waddle trade has already guaranteed a Super Bowl 61 victory for the Denver Broncos.
On Tuesday, the Broncos acquired Jaylen Waddle in a blockbuster trade from the Miami Dolphins in exchange for the No. 30, 94 and 130 selections in this year’s draft. Denver also received the 111th overall pick as part of the deal.
For what it’s worth, the Broncos were reportedly never involved in the AJ Brown trade sweepstakes. With Waddle coming to Denver, the AFC West champions finally have another game-changing receiver to complement veteran Courtland Sutton.
The Broncos fell 10-7 to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game. With a healthy Bo Nix, Denver would have probably reached the Super Bowl. And who knows? They just might have outlasted the Seattle Seahawks in the big game.
And if you’re superstitious, you’ll be interested to learn of this compelling X/Twitter post from Ryan Koenigsberg. After crunching some numbers involving Jaylen Waddle and Bo Nix, Koenigsberg wonders if it foreshadows the Broncos winning Super Bowl 61:
Jalen Waddle wears number 17.
He was traded to the Broncos on the 17th day of the 3rd month.
He is guaranteed 17 million dollars this year on his 3 year contract.
17 x 3 = 51
Bo Nix wears number 10.
51 + 10 = 61

Jaylen Waddle May Be The Final Piece To Complete A Super Bowl Puzzle In Denver
If there was one weakness on the Broncos last season, it was the lack of another star receiver to complement Sutton. He had 1,017 yards, with sophomore Troy Franklin a distant second at 709, per Pro Football Reference.
But the 27-year-old Waddle could easily slot in as Denver’s WR1, with Sutton and Franklin enduring more suitable WR2 and WR3 roles. Waddle exceeded 1,000 receiving yards in his first three seasons and had 910 in 2025 despite missing a game.
Tua Tagovailoa battled injuries and inconsistency in Miami. Now, Waddle gets to work with a rising star signal-caller who was this-close to leading Denver to a surprise Super Bowl appearance in his second season.
Indeed, Waddle might be the final piece to help Denver get over the top for the first time since 2015.
