The Denver Broncos clearly had a focus in undrafted free agency.

It isn't ever easy for undrafted players to make the roster, but the Broncos wanted to get their eyes on as many wide receivers as possible.

They've signed a reported five WRs to UDFA contracts, according to Broncos Wire.

That list of five:

Joseph Manjack, TCU
Dane Key, Nebraska
Cam Ross, Virginia
Kolbe Katsis, Northern Arizona
Sean Brown, Charlotte

Manjack is actually Joseph Manjack IV. He began his college career at USC, then Houston before TCU.

The 6-foot-3 Manjack had 44 catches for 579 yards in 2025.

Key played at Kentucky before joining the Cornhuskers. He had 47 catches for 715 yards in 2024 with the Wildcats, then 39 catches for 452 yards and five TDs in 2025 at Nebraska.

Ross was in college beginning in 2019 with UConn, then spent time at James Madison before Virginia. His best college season was actually his freshman year at UConn half a decade ago with 60 catches for 723 yards and four scores. Ross completed his college career with 53 catches for 543 yards in 2025.

Katsis had 1,068 receiving yards in 2025 as well as being a standout return man for the NAU Lumberjacks.

Brown is a big target at 6-foot-4 who played two years at the smaller UNC-Pembroke, then didn't play football in 2021, before coming to Charlotte, where he had 470 receiving yards in 2025.

It's a fascinating group, and they'll all have an uphill battle to a roster spot, but many of them have already had to move around to make the most of their football journey, so they'll be up to the challenge.
