Former Texas A&M linebacker is Broncos' 'most likely' undrafted free agent to make team

While making a roster as deep as Denver's as an UDFA is a challenge, the talented, if undersized (5'11", 226 lbs), York has the goods to make a strong impression.

In three seasons with the Aggies, York tallied 229 tackles, 6.5 sacks, and seven passes defended. Expect him to push players like Murdock and 2025 UDFA Jordan Turner for a spot on defense and special teams", wrote Knox.

York can be tough up around the line of scrimmage, creating tackles for loss and even pressuring the quarterback. But he will be a two-down linebacker in the NFL who will need to make a mark on special teams to have any chance of making one of the league's most well-rounded rosters.

In three seasons with the Aggies, York had 229 tackles (25.5 for loss) and 6.5 sacks. But he struggles in coverage and the Broncos need their inside linebackers to finally get a grasp on improving in that area this coming season.

Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad are going to be the starters, at least once training camp opens, but much of what happens at this position could hinge on the potential position switch of third-year linebacker Jonah Elliss. Players such as Karene Reid, Jordan Turner and Levelle Bailey — all undrafted players themselves — will provide the competition for York, which will determine how his rookie season goes.

The determining factor there will almost certainly be special teams and how much each of them are able to contribute in that area. However, York is a strong candidate to be placed on the practice squad in order to further develop, at the very least.
