The Denver Broncos brought in two players for tryouts on Tuesday, according to the NFL’s transaction wire.
Running back Hassan Hall and tight end John Samuel Shenker visited the team’s UCHealth Training Center on Oct. 17.
Hall (5-10, 196 pounds) played college football at Louisville and Georgia Tech before going undrafted in April. After rushing for 1,820 yards and 12 touchdowns in college, Hall signed with the Cleveland Browns as a college free agent this spring.
Hall began his rookie season on Cleveland’s practice squad before being released on Sept. 26. He’s 23 years old.
Shenker (6-4, 250 pounds) played college football at Auburn, setting a school record with 62 career receptions for 779 yards and one touchdown. He went undrafted this spring and signed with the Las Vegas Raiders as a college free agent in May.
After beginning the season on the Raiders’ practice squad, Shenker was released on Oct. 5. He is 25 years old.
Both players are likely being considered by the Broncos as potential practice squad or reserve/futures contracts candidates.
