2017 NFL Draft: Keion Adams drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers

Another Bronco came off the board in the seventh round on Saturday.

Defensive end Keion Adams, who saw playing time in all four years at Western Michigan, was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers with the 248th overall pick.

He is the third senior from the 2016 Western Michigan squad that finished 13-1 and won the MAC championship. With this pick, the 2017 NFL Draft becomes the first one since 1972 to have at least three Broncos drafted.

Adams led the Broncos in sacks in 2016, tallying 7.5. He added 18 tackles for loss and three forced fumbles as well — a strong, physical force from the defensive end position.
