With the 95th overall pick in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos selected Arkansas defensive lineman McTelvin Agim.
Agim (6-3, 309 pounds) ran a 40-yard dash in 4.98 seconds and bench-pressed 225 pounds 25 times at the combine earlier this offseason. NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein described Agim as a prospect who “has snap quickness to become a better one-gap penetrator and rush talent to build upon if he can attack with a better plan and more urgency.”
During his four years at Arkansas, Agim totaled 140 tackles — including 31 tackles for losses — and 14.5 sacks. He also battled down four passes, recovered two fumbles and forced six fumbles.
Agim will join a Broncos defensive line rotation that already includes Jurrell Casey, Mike Purcell, Shelby Harris, DeMarcus Walker and Dre’Mont Jones. Casey, Purcell and Harris will likely serve as the starters in Denver’s base 3-4 look but Walker, Jones and Agim should get plenty of snaps in 2020.
