Broncos ink 19 UDFA's

Two days after the 75th NFL Draft ended, the Broncos have signed 19 undrafted free agents. Among them are, 3 Wide Receivers, 2 Running Backs, and 3 Defensive Backs. In all, there's 10 offensive players and nine defensive players.
Defensive Lineman Jaron Baston is one of the 5 Defensive Linemen signed. According to Gray Caldwell of the Broncos official website, Baston did not miss a single game while at Missouri. He played in 54 contests for the Tigers -- starting 27 -- amassing 101 tackles, 2.5 sacks, one interception and two fumble recoveries. He received second-team All-Big 12 honors by the league coaches as a senior in 2009, a year after earning honorable mention All-Big 12 accolades as a junior.

OLB/DE Kevin Alexander, WR Elric Arnett, RB Toney Baker, ILB Devin Bishop, OLB/DE Korey Bosworth, DB Marcellus Bowman, RB Chris Brown, OT Paul Duncan, DL Ben Garland, TE Riar Geer, WR Patrick Honeycutt, OT Chris Marinelli, DB Kyle McCarthy, TE Nathan Overbay, Guard Michael Shumard, DL Jeff Stehle, DB Cassius Vaughn, and WR Landis Williams round out the rest of the Broncos UDFA signings.

In 2009, the Broncos signed 15 Undrafted Free Agents, among them, Marquez Branson, Everette Pedescleaux and Britton Colquitt. All three of those players are still on Denver's roster, and could see good playing time this season. Punter Colquitt, and Tight End Branson could possibly even start. Although making the team for these 19 players is a long shot, it is not impossible.
