Matt Paradis would have been a great story simply by making an NFL roster. What’s made it all the more impressive is how he’s thrived.
The former walk-on from Council High anchors the offensive line as the Denver Broncos’ workhorse at center. Paradis has not missed making a single offensive snap over the past two seasons, and was ranked by Pro Football Focus as the No. 1 center in the league.
Paradis had hip surgery in the offseason, but was cleared just before training camp. He has yet to play, but is reportedly set to start Saturday against the Packers.
