Former Texas A&M linebacker is Broncos' 'most likely' undrafted free agent to make team originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The Denver Broncos have done as well as any team in the last two decades, and perhaps even NFL history, at signing undrafted players.
Following the 2026 NFL Draft, the Broncos brought in 14 more undrafted free agents to complete their roster. Of those players, Texas A&M linebacker Taurean York was chosen by Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report as the player most likely to make the 53-man roster from this year's crop of UDFAs. Following a run on inside linebackers in the second round, the Broncos were moved to a new path in the draft, if that was indeed their intention in round two.
However, the "Mr. Irrelevant" selection of Red Murdock and the signing of York may give the Broncos something to work with that improves the overall depth of what may be their weakest spot heading into the 2026 season. "The Denver Broncos didn't enter the draft with many glaring needs, but their depth at linebacker was questionable.
Denver added some new pieces to the puzzle in the form of seventh-round Buffalo linebacker—and Mr. Irrelevant—Red Murdock and free-agent signing Taurean York of Texas A&M.
