Broncos Adjust Quarterback, Linebacker Rosters For Rookie Minicamp

The Denver Broncos' rookie minicamp includes notable quarterback changes, linebacker additions, and undrafted free agent signings. Quarterback Desmond Ridder declined to attend the minicamp, leading the Broncos to bring in Ian Book, a quarterback with limited NFL starting experience who reunites with former coach Sean Payton. The Broncos are also bringing five linebackers to the minicamp, including two undrafted free agents, JB Brown and Karene Reid, and three tryout players hoping to secure a spot on the offseason roster. Additionally, the Broncos signed safety Wyett Ekeler, brother of NFL All-Pro Austin Ekeler, as an undrafted free agent aiming to earn a roster spot despite a crowded safety depth chart. Wyett's potential journey to the NFL contrasts with his brother Austin’s path, who overcame challenges to become a leading NFL player and recently signed a lucrative contract extension. These roster moves highlight the Broncos' efforts to evaluate young talent and veterans during the minicamp period as they prepare for the upcoming season.
