The Denver Broncos had a loaded 10-player class in the 2020 NFL Draft, so they had a smaller group of UDFAs. Let’s get to know these players.

The Denver Broncos had an amazing 2020 NFL Draft class, headlined by Alabama wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and Penn State wide receiver KJ Hamler.

One of the most fun and interesting NFL Draft traditions is scouring Twitter for undrafted free agent signings immediately after the draft. Not every undrafted player is going to make an impact, but it’s fun to look at where notable players land and think about who could become the next Chris Harris Jr., Rod Smith, Phillip Lindsay, CJ Anderson, or Shaquil Barrett.

The Broncos, for my money, have had the best eye for UDFA talent in the NFL for decades. There’s plenty of luck involved in that but it’s also important to pay attention to the circumstances surrounding some of those guys and a lot of times, intangible qualities that help push them not just onto an NFL roster but into NFL stardom.

With a pretty full roster leading up to the 2020 NFL Draft and 10 selections, the Broncos’ UDFA class was somewhat limited.

The team announced seven college free agent signings, a number of which have intriguing traits and qualities.

Who’s going to be the next Harris or Lindsay?

Let’s find out.
