Broncos Wire’s 90-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at sixth-year offensive lineman Sam Mustipher, No. 61.
Before the Broncos: Mustipher (6-3, 306 pounds) entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Notre Dame with the Chicago Bears in 2019. After spending his rookie season on the practice squad, Mustipher dressed for nine games in his second season, earning seven starts. He then started 33 games at center from 2021-2022. After his rookie contract expired, Mustipher signed a one-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens in 2023. He was active for nine games last fall and started two games at center in Baltimore.
Broncos tenure: After losing Lloyd Cushenberry during free agency, Denver signed Mustipher to a one-year contract in April. With 42 career starts on his resume, he is the most experienced center on the Broncos’ roster.
Chances to make the 53-man roster: Toss up. Mustipher will compete with Alex Forsyth and Luke Wattenberg for the starting center job this summer. If he doesn’t win the starting role, Mustipher might not be a lock to make the active roster. The 27-year-old center could provide depth from the practice squad if he does not end up making the 53-man squad.
