Denver Broncos Mysterious Draft Pick: S Josh Furman

Denver Broncos seventh round pick and penultimate selection of the 2015 NFL Draft Josh Furman is the mystery man of this year’s class.

A talented ‘athlete’ coming out of high school, Furman spent three years as a backup in Michigan after redshirting his first year on campus. He then decided that, instead of spending another year as a backup at Michigan, he’d transfer to another school where he could find more playing time and a chance to impress NFL scouts with his ability on the field and not just as an athlete.

And impress, he did.

In one season at Oklahoma State, Furman established himself as the ‘star’ linebacker in the Cowboys’ defense, playing sort of a safety/linebacker hybrid role.
