Marcus Rush has been a standout preseason performer the past few years with the Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers, and Jacksonville Jaguars.
Despite his great production in the preseason, Rush has been unable to make an impact in the regular season for an NFL team.
The Broncos, again, are loaded at the outside linebacker position but if there’s a chance they keep five guys at this position, he will have a chance to really impress.
Rush showed out as an athlete at Michigan State’s pro day in 2015 and might be on his last shot in the NFL.
The Broncos signed him to their practice squad last December, so they prioritized getting him in the building before the end of the season.
With his production in exhibition play in years past, perhaps he will make a significant enough impact on the Broncos to force himself into their roster plans for 2018.
