A 5-11 season shouldn’t cause us to be blind to the Denver Broncos history of finding talent in the undrafted free agent pool. In John Elway’s tenure, he’s landed key contributors in undrafted free agency that helped secure a Super Bowl and multiple playoff appearances.
It is a testament not just to Elway, but Matt Russell and the entire scouting department.
Players like C.J. Anderson and Chris Harris Jr. rank near the top of the list of the most successful undrafted free agents to make an impression in the NFL. Anderson amassed 1,000 yards for the first time in his career and played with incredible passion on the football field.
