Broncos Invite 23 Players, Including Ekeler's Brother, to Rookie Minicamp

The Denver Broncos are preparing for their rookie minicamp by inviting a mix of drafted players, undrafted free agents, and several notable tryout candidates, including former Cincinnati Bengals running back Chris Evans and Colorado School of Mines record-setting wide receiver Max McLeod. Among the invitees is Wyett Ekeler, a Wyoming safety and the younger brother of NFL running back Austin Ekeler, who impressed with his resilience last college season despite significant injuries. Ekeler, along with McLeod and others, will have the opportunity to compete for a roster spot or a place on the practice squad. The rookie camp offers a platform for these prospects to showcase their abilities, especially as the Broncos look to add depth at key positions like safety and wide receiver. Denver's rookie minicamp is scheduled to run from May 9-11, and the team is expected to evaluate at least 23 tryout players in addition to their signed prospects. The mix of local talent and experienced invitees highlights the Broncos' effort to find contributors beyond their draft class.
