As the Denver Broncos 2019 1st round draft selection (20th overall), tight end Noah Fant is expected to be a dynamic, offensive weapon.
But if you’re a 2018 5th round draft selection (156th overall), the expectation is to compete for a job. Troy Fumagalli was drafted by the Broncos after having surgery to repair a sports hernia. His recovery kept him out of rookie minicamp and OTAs. Fumagalli returned to practice for 1 week during the 2018 training camp, before re-aggravating his prior injury. The Broncos consequently placed him on injured reserve.
