Broncos Sign 10+ UDFAs
Over the weekend, the Broncos supplemented their draft class by signing eleven undrafted free agents:
- Nolan Laufenberg, G, Air Force
- Adam Prentice, FB, South Carolina
- Warren Jackson, WR, CSU
- Branden Mack, WR, Temple
- DeVontres Dukes, WR, South Florida
- Andre Mintze, OLB, Vanderbilt
- David Curry, LB, Georgia Tech
- Curtis Robinson, LB, Stanford
- Drew Himmelman, OT, Illinois State
- Mac McCain III, CB, North Carolina A&T
- Shaun Beyer, TE, Iowa

Mintze likely received the top guarantee of the bunch at $85K (Twitter link via Mike Klis of 9News). With a bonus that’s roughly 50% of the practice squad base salary, the Broncos seem to like his odds of making the final cut, even though he’s a bit undersized for the position. Mintze impressed scouts at his pro day by running a 4.59-second 40-yard-dash, positioning him as one of the draft’s fastest outside ‘backers. All in all, he totaled 75 stops, 17 TFL, 8.5 sacks, and three forced fumbles across his four years on campus.
