UDFA_1280_160502.jpg

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. --At least one undrafted rookie has made the 53-man roster to start the regular season in 11 of the last 12 years, with 18 overall making the post-camp roster in that span.

So the chances are excellent that at least one of the 21 college free agents who agreed to terms with the Broncos after the 2016 NFL Draft will be a part of the primary roster, with others likely landing on the 10-man practice squad.

Two of the 21 players -- Sioux Falls CB John Tidwell and Wyoming DE Eddie Yarbrough -- took part in the Broncos' Pro Day, held for products of Denver-area high schools on April 12.

These are the 21 players this year who will attempt to follow in the footsteps of players like Bob Swenson, Rod Smith and Chris Harris Jr.:

WR KHALIF RAYMOND
Holy Cross
5-9 - 160
