History-Making Denver Broncos Gets Good News After Joining team with…
The Denver Broncos passed on adding interior offensive linemen in the 2025 draft or free agency. The Athletic’s Nick Kosmider believes that bodes well for Broncos undrafted free agent Xavier Truss, who will have “ample opportunity” to make the final roster.
Truss was a three-year starter at Georgia, and he has experience at multiple positions.
Moreover, Kosmider – the Broncos’ beat writer – is not alone in his assessment of the “behemoth,” Truss. That, and a handsome compensation package, are encouraging for him.
“The three veteran reserves on the unit — Alex Forsyth, Nick Gargiulo and Calvin Throckmorton — have started a combined four games across the past two seasons. In other words, there is ample opportunity for a player like Truss, a behemoth 6-foot-7, 309-pound lineman who played every spot but center in college, to crack Denver’s initial roster,” Kosmider wrote on May 2.
“Truss started 42 of the 67 games he played in across six college seasons — he turns 24 in July — and was the starting left guard during Georgia’s national championship run in 2022.”
Kosmider ranked Truss tops among the Broncos’ 15 UDFA signings.
“A three-year starter at Georgia who has played left guard, right guard and right tackle, Truss … brings a ton of power and length in the run game — he could be a factor inside for an NFL team,” The Athletic’s Nick Baumgardner wrote on May 2. “He’s not the quickest player, though, so Truss’ toughness and durability (67 games at Georgia) will be his biggest selling points.”
