NFL

Scheffler was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft. After seeing limited playing time early in the season, Scheffler saw increased playing time and production after Jay Cutler was inserted as the Broncos starting quarterback on December 3, 2006 against the Seattle Seahawks. In a game against the San Diego Chargers on December 10, Scheffler caught his first NFL touchdown from a pass by Cutler. After the following kickoff was fumbled, Scheffler caught another touchdown, a mere 48 seconds after his previous one.

Scheffler, Cutler and Brandon Marshall, all members of the Broncos 2006 draft class, are said to be close friends. Both Scheffler and Marshall saw an immediate jump in production once Cutler was inserted as the Broncos starting quarterback.

On Friday, May 19, 2007 Scheffler broke his left foot in seven-on-seven passing drills during practice. The injury caused Scheffler to miss much of training camp, the set back kept Scheffler out of his place in the lineup as the Broncos pass receiving tight end until October 21, 2007 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Scheffler finished the season among league leaders of tight ends with 49 receptions for 549 yards and 5 touchdowns.

Following the 2007 season, Scheffler, Cutler and Marshall went to Atlanta together to train and work on timing for the 2008 season.
