When you are rebuilding your defense and really almost the entire roster, like the Denver Broncos are, you will look for any guy who may be getting slept on or overlooked because they went to a smaller school. That is kind of what the Denver Broncos are doing with their scouting for the NFL draft.

Sure, they have more draft capital than we are used to seeing in the last few years, so they will be able to draft some really good players. However, if you can find a guy on day three who is really good and can contribute to your team, it's a huge win.

The Broncos are already looking into a guy who played in the CFL last season as a guy who could be overlooked. Now, they are looking into a guy who may get overlooked because he played at Houston Christian, an FCS school.

According to NFL insider Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the Broncos are hosting a top-30 visit for Houston Christian edge rusher Jalyx Hunt, a guy who showed a lot of his athleticism at the NFL combine.

Hunt is not expected to be drafted on A to Z Sports' Big Board, but he does have an athletic score of 89.5 out of 100. He is a freak athlete, and while he is still raw, he can be developed. We will see how the top 30 visits go.
