Alex Palczewski has been a valuable backup who has started and done well in multiple games for the team and just signed a contract extension with the Broncos. Also, Frank Crum has been on the 53-man roster since joining the team as an undrafted rookie and could be pushing for a swing tackle role this summer. Now, Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton told reporters that they added two more undrafted rookies to the mix and noted that they had draftable grades on both.

Fairly elementary but big takeaway of #Broncos rookie minicamp: UDFA OT Tyler Miller is *massive. * Measured close to 6’9 in pre-draft testing and looks the part. Iowa State product.

Sean Payton said Broncos had a few draftable grades on UDFA linemen and I’d bet Miller is one. pic. twitter.

He is one of those guys who we felt could do a lot and even go inside and play center.
