Broncos UDFAs: Hungry for Opportunities

0:00On April 28th, the Denver Broncos just wrapped the NFL Draft with seven picks, including the last two overall, and jumped straight into signing, 14 undrafted free agents. That's their strategy to snag hidden gyms before other teams do, building on a strong track record where at least one UDFA cracks the 53 man. roster in 21 of the past 22 seasons, they loaded up heavy on Y receivers, grabbing five guys like Colby Katz's from Northern Arizona, with his 4.43 speed and kick. Return skills, averaging nearly 30 yards per return last year. Cam Ross from Virginia brings gadget play and vision as a returner too, both I to back up Marvin Mims Jr. on special teams. Fans are buzzing about these underdogs, but the receiver room is stacked 60 bar ready, so pass Liv Nero without shining in camp. Same story across the board, linebackers like Torian, York face stiff competition from draft picks, while offensive linemen such as 6 foot 8. Tyler Miller offer raw size, but need tech upgrades.

1:03On going watch is how they ball out in training camp in preseason, where special teams value could flip low odds like 6% for Katz's or 5% for corner, Brent Austin into real shots. Practice squad spots are more likely for most, especially DBs with coverage range, but tackling tweaks needed. These Broncos UDFA's got that hunger keep an eye, because camp stores always drop the real heat.
