Garrett Grayson walked through the front door of his home in Nashville on Wednesday, just returned from a day of meetings for his budding real estate company, when the phone rang with an opportunity for a career detour.
Grayson, the former Colorado State quarterback (2011-14) who earned totals of 9,190 passing yards and 64 touchdowns, traded his business attire for a Denver Broncos uniform after the team cut backup quarterback Chad Kelly and promoted wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie to the active roster.
Grayson, previously under contract with the Salt Lake Stallions of the Alliance of American Football league, happily filled Denver’s open practice squad slot.
