Zarian McGill earn rookie minicamp invite with Denver Broncos

Colorado football is stacking up players who have signed with NFL teams as either undrafted free agents or rookie minicamp invitees.

Center Zarian McGill is one of those players, and he is staying close by as he'll be joining the Denver Broncos rookie minicamp.

McGill was a star for the Buffs in just one season. He started and played in all 12 games, logging the most snaps on offense with 774. He allowed only one sack, one quarterback hit and eight hurries. McGill was graded as the ninth-best offensive lineman in the Big 12 and the third-best center.

While McGill might not be considered a true diamond in the rough, his final collegiate season does seem to set him up as an intriguing undrafted player for the Broncos.

Offensive linemen who can play center are always valuable commodities for NFL teams, and McGill fits that mold.

McGill becomes the fourth former Buff to receive a rookie minicamp invite, joining DT Amari McNeill, QB Kaidon Salter and EDGE Keaten Wade.

As a team, Colorado did not have any players selected in the seven-round NFL draft, but the program's success with undrafted free agents should be noted. In the last 11 seasons, CU has had at least one undrafted free agent make a final 53-man roster.
