The Denver Broncos had a pre-draft video call with Penn State defensive lineman Robert Windsor, according to Draft Wire’s Justin Melo.
Windsor (6-4, 290 pounds) ran a 40-yard dash in 4.9 seconds and bench-pressed 225 pounds 21 times at the combine earlier this offseason. NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein believes Windsor will have to show considerble improvement to make a roster in the NFL.
“Undersized interior linemen without a great pass rush have a hard time sticking around for long so he’ll need to get bigger and better with his hands to have a shot at making a team,” Zierlein wrote of Windsor.
During his four seasons with the Nittany Lions, Windsor totaled 120 tackles — including 19 tackles for losses — and 13 sacks. He also recovered three fumbles and forced two fumbles during his time at Penn State.
Windsor is likely a late-round or undrafted free agent candidate. If selected or signed by Denver, he would likely compete for a rotational backup job on the defensive line. The Broncos will have 10 picks to use during the draft, which will be held from April 23-25.
