Despite running a 4.93-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, 6-foot-7 Wyoming offensive tackle Frank Crum didn't hear his name called on draft day. And yet, theFollowing rookie minicamp, Broncos head coach Sean Payton touched on the traits Crum brings to the table.
It was enough to offer Crum a look-see this offseason. He'll get the opportunity to soak in NFL coaching and hopefully parlay that into a spot on the Broncos roster or practice squad by summer's end. Mile High Huddle's Erick Trickel, who scouts the draft class each year, writing up countless scouting reports and formulating a big board that features 300-plus prospects, described Crum as a "technical mess" with "athleticism and size" to offer some upside.
Crum joins a Broncos offensive line room featuring incumbent starting tackles Garett Bolles and Mike McGlinchey. Bolles is in the final year of his contract, and the Broncos could use some fail-safe options for 2025 and beyond.
