After a very solid senior season with Oklahoma in 2019, Motley went undrafted after not receiving an NFL Scouting Combine invite in the weeks leading up to the NFL Draft.
In April, Motley signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent and made the team’s 53-man roster. He appeared in two games prior to being waived in October.
He was then picked up by the San Francisco 49ers before being waived by them just a couple more weeks later and reassigned to the practice squad.
Now, he has found a new home with a Denver as the Broncos made the move to sign him to join their roster on Monday.
Due to COVID-19 protocols he won’t be available for this Saturday’s game against Buffalo, but if all goes well Motley could take the field for the first time as a Bronco on Dec. 27th on the road against former defensive teammate Kenneth Murray and the Los Angeles Chargers.
