Denver Broncos who need a hot start in training camp #5: Ja’Quan McMillian, CB
Ja’Quan McMillian is a player that I enjoyed studying prior to the 2022 NFL Draft. Many had him going as high as the third round, but that could have been proof that we don’t quite know what we’re looking for in a player.
McMillian went undrafted, signing with the Denver Broncos shortly after the draft concluded.
The team’s cornerback depth chart looks like this:
1. Pat Surtain II
2. Ronald Darby
3. K’Waun Williams
4. Michael Ojemudia
Damarri Mathis is another name that could steal a roster spot from McMillian.
McMillian is just 5-foot-10, 183 pounds so he’ll likely get outmatched by the league’s top tall wide receivers. K’Waun Williams figures to be the team’s slot cornerback, which is a spot that McMillian could play at if he makes the team.
Maybe he will impress as a rookie training camp player, but my money is on some other players having a bigger impact.
Denver Broncos post-draft roster prediction for 2022 season
How will the roster of the Denver Broncos shape up for the 2022 season? Here is a look at what it could look like following the NFL Draft.
That’s not to say that he can’t make an impact later on in his career—it’s always a good idea to store some players on the practice squad and considering some people thought he was going to be drafted significantly high, it won’t surprise me at all if he turns out to be a solid player in the future.
