33rd Team chooses Chris Harris as Broncos' best undrafted player ever

The NFL Draft is coming up which means we are about to start finding out the trajectory of some young guys' careers. Some of the first-rounders will end up having legendary starts, or even guys in between that and round seven.
But there are also guys who go undrafted and make an impact. The Denver Broncos have had one guy go undrafted and make an impact recently.
It isn't often that we see a guy go undrafted and then make the Hall of Fame, or even be a Pro Bowler. But, it has happened. In fact, the Broncos signed a guy who went undrafted in 2011, and it was one of the best decisions they could have made.
Chris Harris Jr. wasn't a huge prospect coming out of Kansas, and a lot of that has to do with where he went to school. Kansas wasn't just a powerhouse football school. In fact, in 2011 they went 2-10 and in 2010 they went 3-9.
But, he still had skill, even if their team didn't. The Broncos took a flyer on him and thought they saw something, and they did.
Now, 12 years later, he is being talked about as the greatest undrafted Broncos player ever, and I think most Broncos fans would agree.
Since then he has been an All-Pro three times and a Pro Bowler four times. He has 20 interceptions and four pick-sixes as a Bronco, along with 518 total tackles. He is an all-time great for Denver. Oh, and he won a Super Bowl with the team.
I think the 33rd Team got this one right. He is definitely the greatest undrafted Broncos player ever.
