Troy Fumagalli began his college football career at Wisconsin as a walk-on tight end stepping into a position room with 11 players. Long odds. But not totally different that what likes ahead as an NFL rookie.
Fumagalli, the Broncos’ 2018 fifth-round draft selection (No. 156 overall), made his presence felt on Wednesday, Denver’s fifth training camp practice, with three receptions from quarterback Chad Kelly, who ran the third-string offense in team periods.
It’s major progress after Fumagalli underwent sports hernia surgery in March that kept him sidelined through all of Broncos organized team activities and minicamp.
