Denver Broncos defensive back Essang Bassey is well on his way in the NFL.
The former Wake Forest star was signed by the Broncos as an undrafted free agent following April’s selection process. Many analysts were surprised to see him go undrafted as he did have a late-round grade coming out of college.
In 48 games at Wake, Bassey totaled 227 tackles, five interceptions and an impressive 45 passes defensed.
