The Denver Broncos have selected Texas safety Caden Sterns with their 152nd overall selection in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
At his Texas pro day, Sterns ran a 4.40 second 40-yard dash along with a 42-inch vertical leap. He is another super athletic guy with a 9.59 RAS. Look for him to contribute immediately on special teams.
In three seasons at Texas, Sterns totaled 173 tackles in 29 games with 5 interceptions and eight pass defensed. His draft status fell a bit off due to injury concerns that kept him from playing in more than a few games over his final two seasons after an outstanding freshman campaign.
