We already knew that the Denver Broncos worked out former Mississippi State quarterback Nick Fitzgerald on Tuesday. Thanks to NFL reporter Howard Balzer, we now know the names of 18 other players that worked out for the team.
In addition to Fitzgerald, Denver also worked out two other QBs: Taryn Christion and Tyree Jackson. Here’s the complete list of players that worked out for the Broncos, according to Balzer:
- WR Tyre Brady
- WR De’Mornay Pierson-El
- WR DeAndrew Thompkins
- WR Trevion Thompson
- WR Alex Wesley
- WR Papi White
- QB Taryn Christion
- QB Nick Fitzgerald
- QB Tyree Jackson
- TE Tyree Mayfield
- OG Larry Allen
- OG Joshua Garnett
- OG Bunchy Stallings
- OT Ka’John Armstrong
- OT Brian Fineanganofo
- RB Alex Barnes
- RB Nick Brossette
- RB Jeremy Cox
- RB Matthew Dayes
Jackson (6-7, 249 pounds) is likely the most notable player on the list. He threw for 6,999 yards and 49 touchdowns during his three years at Buffalo and rushed for 757 yards and 16 more scores. Jackson signed with the Bills as a college free agent in April but failed to make their 53-man roster.

Jackson was selected by the DC Defenders in the XFL draft for the upcoming 2020 season but he would likely turn down a chance to start in the upstart league if he is invited to camp by an NFL team.
Jackson and the other players that worked out for the Broncos are likely being considered as “future contract” candidates. Players not on an active roster at the end of the season are eligible to sign future deals that become official when the new league year begins in March.
At the end of last season, Denver signed 10 players to future contracts.
