ENGLEWOOD, Colo. --
To make room for Gibson, the Broncos designated offensive lineman Sam Brenner as waived/injured.
A quick 6-foot-6, 295-pounder who is light on his feet, Gibson had a tryout with the New York Jets during their rookie minicamp in May.
"It was a great blessing," Gibson told WingateBulldogs.com. "I was able to play against a lot of high level competition. (The experience) made me feel confident that I can play against anyone."
Gibson had been set to play this fall in Australia, signing a contract with the Newcastle Miners of the National Gridiron League, a proposed developmental league that targeted North American players who were looking to extend their careers.
