A familiarity with Broncos special teams coordinator Tom McMahon combined with the struggles of punter Marquette King helped Colby Wadman land on the team’s practice squad Tuesday.
Wadman, 23, traveled to Denver from his parents’ home in Thousand Oaks, Calif., for a workout with the Broncos before signing.
“I knew (McMahon) back from when he was in Indianapolis and he was one of the first ones to start scouting me (at UC Davis),” Wadman said after practice Wednesday.
McMahon visited Wadman on-campus and later brought him to the Colts’ minicamp. He had also worked out previously for the Broncos.
