From Duke special teamer to #Broncos RB RT @VicLombardi: As expected, Juwan Thompson makes the final 53. What a great story he's become.

The most accomplished UDFA of all time has to be Rod Smith. Rod turned his opportunity into a storybook career that includes 3 pro bowl appearances, 2 all pro nominations, 2 world championships, 849 receptions for 11,389 yards and 68 TD's. All of those stats are NFL records for an UDFA WR.
Chris Harris Jr. has also become an elite player at corner. He gives the Broncos a lot of flexibility being able play outside and inside. Heading into a contract season, Harris Jr. has the opportunity to get paid among the best at his position.
Whichever role Juwan Thompson carves out for himself will be entirely up to him. One thing is for sure, he is the hardest runner in the stable at the moment. Congratulations Juwan, welcome to Broncos Country!
UPDATE 5:11PM
After all roster cuts have been made, UDFA WR/KR Isaiah Burse has also made the team which marks the first time since 2012 that multiple UDFA have made the same 53-man roster.
