The Denver Broncos recently hosted do-everything draft prospect Jack Colletto on a top-30 visit, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis. NFL teams are allowed to host up to 30 prospects at their facility leading up to the draft each spring.
Colletto (6-3, 239 pounds) is an extremely versatile player who spent time at quarterback, inside linebacker and fullback while playing at Oregon State. Nicknamed the “Jackhammer,” Colletto was also a key player on special teams for the Beavers. In addition to those positions, he also worked out as a tight end at Oregon State’s pro day.
Sound familiar?
At the Shrine Bowl earlier this year, Colletto compared himself to Taysom Hill and Kyle Juszczyk. Colletto won the Paul Hornung Award as a redshirt senior last season. The award recognizes college football’s most versatile players.

Hill played under Sean Payton with the New Orleans Saints from 2017-2021. Perhaps one of the most versatile players in the NFL, Hill has spent time at quarterback, fullback and tight end with the Saints, and he is a key player on special teams.
Colletto is projected to be an undrafted free agent prospect this spring. He rushed for 425 yards and 22 touchdowns and totaled 50 tackles in college. If he ends up joining the Broncos, Colletto could be a candidate to have a role in Denver’s offense similar to Hill’s in New Orleans.
