The Denver Broncos brought in 10 players for workouts on Monday, according to the NFL’s transaction wire (via KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis).
One of the most interesting players on the list is Kenneth Odumegwu, a Nigerian defensive lineman who entered the league as a member of the NFL’s International Player Pathway Program with the Green Bay Packers in 2023. He grew up playing soccer and later switched to basketball before being recruited to Osi Umenyiora’s football camp. The 23-year-old lineman is yet to appear in a regular season game in the NFL.
Former CFL draft pick Luiji Vilain is also on the list. The 26-year-old linebacker turned down a chance to play in Canada and opted to instead join the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent in 2022. He has dressed for five games (four with the Vikings and one with the Carolina Panthers), totaling four tackles.

10 players worked out for Broncos
- DT Kenneth Odumegwu (No College)
- LB Chris Garrett (Concordia, St. Paul)
- LB Tyreek Maddox-Williams (Rutgers)
- LB Donavan Mutin (Houston)
- LB Luiji Vilain (Wake Forset)
- DB Christian Holmes (Oklahoma State)
- DB Zech McPhearson (Texas Tech)
- DB Chris Wilcox (Bringham Young)
- DB Damarion Williams (Houston)
- DB A.J. Woods (Pittsburgh)
Denver’s 53-man roster and 17-player practice squad are both full, so if the Broncos add any free agents, the team will have to cut somebody to make room for any potential new arrivals.
