Years under contract: 3

George Aston will be competing with Andy Janovich for the full back position. This could turn into an intriguing, low-key battle. Because by looking at Aston, it could go down to the final week of preseason.

Aston scored ten touchdowns in 2016 with the Pittsburgh Panthers. That is almost unheard of for a full back, unless you think about the Panthers using him in goal line situations. Which is what Cardiac Hill says was the case.

If Aston does not make the final roster, he would be a prime candidate for Denver’s practice squad. With Janovich’s future with Denver uncertain at this time, having a full back on the practice squad could benefit the Denver Broncos.

Aston will be one undrafted rookie that I would like to see this preseason.
