On March 17, 1994, he was signed as a free agent by the Denver Broncos, who were looking to replace wide receiver Vance Johnson. He became just the fourth player in franchise history to reach 1,000 receiving yards in a season, by registering 60 receptions (third on the team) for 1,107 yards (led the team) and 5 receiving touchdowns (led the team). It was also the first time in club history, that it had 2 receivers with 1,000 yards, when Shannon Sharpe tallied 1,010 yards.
