Broncos Sign 10+ UDFAs

May 2nd, 2021 at 3:53pm CST by Zachary Links

Over the weekend, the Broncos supplemented their draft class by signing eleven undrafted free agents:

Nolan Laufenberg, G, Air Force
Adam Prentice, FB, South Carolina
Warren Jackson, WR, CSU
Branden Mack, WR, Temple
DeVontres Dukes, WR, South Florida
Andre Mintze, OLB, Vanderbilt
David Curry, LB, Georgia Tech
Curtis Robinson, LB, Stanford
Drew Himmelman, OT, Illinois State
Mac McCain III, CB, North Carolina A&T
Shaun Beyer, TE, Iowa

Mintze likely received the top guarantee of the bunch at $85K (Twitter link via Mike Klis of 9News). With a bonus that’s roughly 50% of the practice squad base salary, the Broncos seem to like his odds of making the final cut, even though he’s a bit undersized for the position. Mintze impressed scouts at his pro day by running a 4.59-second 40-yard-dash, positioning him as one of the draft’s fastest outside ‘backers. All in all, he totaled 75 stops, 17 TFL, 8.5 sacks, and three forced fumbles across his four years on campus.
