When it comes to undrafted free agents, the Denver Broncos have been one of the most successful teams in the NFL at finding this untapped talent. In 18 of the last 19 years, Denver has had at least one undrafted free agent make the roster. Their most recent success comes in the form of wide receiver Jalen Virgil.
Virgil, a rookie out of Appalachian State University, was a big target during the preseason for Broncos quarterbacks, catching nine passes for 180 yards (a 20 yards per catch average). Virgil’s emergence came in the wake of the loss of star receiver Tim Patrick to an ACL injury.
