The 2023 NFL Draft is officially over, but that doesn't mean the Denver Broncos are done adding prospects to their roster.  

Up next is the undrafted free agent signing period, and it's one that shouldn't be underestimated. Teams can find diamonds in the rough during this time, evidenced by former UDFAs such as Kurt Warner, John Randle, Arian Foster, Warren Moon, and many, many others.

So, without further ado, let's take a look at the Broncos' undrafted free-agent signings

The Denver Broncos’ 2023 undrafted free agents

OT Alex Palczewski, Illinois

The skinny: Palczewski was a three-star recruit who chose Illinois over offers from Syracuse and Vanderbilt. He started 11 games his freshman year, switching between left and right guard. In 2018 he started all 12 games at right tackle, and in 2019 started 13 games while earning third-team All-Big Ten honors. In 2020, Palczewski tore his ACL after just four starts. In 2022, he started all 13 games at RT and was named an AP third-team All-American. 

Fun fact: Palczewski tied an FBS record with 65 career starts and played 4,390 snaps during his six-year college career 

Career stats: 65 career starts, ended his career with 713 consecutive pass-blocking snaps without allowing a single sack, did not allow a sack for the entire 2022 season. 

CB Art Green, Houston

The skinny: Green started his college career at Hutchinson Community College in 2018. He intercepted six passes in eight games as a true freshman. He transferred to Houston before the 2020 season. He did not become a starter until 2022 but was named second-team All-American Athletic Conference that season. Green has shown considerable growth in understanding zone concepts and route recognition in order to know when to make plays on the ball.

Fun fact: Green owns his high school record for the fastest 100-meter dash time

Career stats:  76 tackles, three tackles for loss, 15 pass deflections, three interceptions 

S Devon Matthews, Indiana

The skinny: Matthews is a 6-foot-2, 205-pound safety who played five seasons at Indiana. Matthews appeared in 52 games throughout his career, starting in 35. In 2020 he was named third-team All-Big Tem and was named Indiana’s Most Oustanding Defensive Player of the Year in 2021. 

Fun fact: Goes by the nickname "Monster"

Career stats: 217 tackles, four interceptions, 20 passes defended, ten tackles for loss, two sacks, and a fumble recovery.  

TE Nate Adkins, South Carolina

The skinny: Adkins started his career at East Tennessee State before transferring to South Carolina in April of 2022. Adikins was an elite blocker for the Gamecocks and was used as a fullback at times. After some injuries in the TE room, Adikins was put in more of a playmaker role. He showed flashes of being a playmaker and became a very versatile player down the stretch.  

Fun fact: His father, Greg Adkins, is a long-time offensive line coach 

Career stats: 86 receptions, 917 yards, four touchdowns 

RB Emanuel Wilson, Fort Valley State

The skinny: Wilson is a ground-and-pound back who loves to run downhill. He tends to run a bit upright at times but can wear down defenses as the game progresses. He can play on all three downs and has shown growth as a pass catcher throughout his career. 

Fun fact: Named SIAC Offensive Player of the Year 

Career stats: 16 games played, 2087 rushing yards, 22 touchdowns, 31 receptions, 278 receiving yards

WR Dallas Daniels, Jackson State

The skinny: Daniels showed great ball skills throughout his career and specifically shined in the red zone. He is a balanced route runner and can set up routes at all three levels. He is also a threat to put up YAC numbers and has the potential to be a kick/punt returner in the NFL. Daniels is small for his position, as he is just 5’10”, 176 pounds, with sub 30″ arms. 

Fun fact: Was a sports management major in college 

Career stats: 139 receptions, 1549 yards, and ten touchdowns. 

TE Kris Leach, Kent State

The skinny: Leach is a large blocking tight end with average athleticism. He is able to get to the second level and is able to consistently redirect linebackers. He does not do much in the passing game and totaled just 16 receptions over the past three seasons.

Fun fact: Helped lead Kent State's rushing attack in 2021 which was third best in the country. 

Career stats: 18 catches, 207 yards and three touchdowns 

LB Seth Benson, Iowa

The skinny: Benson plays as a will linebacker, primarily dealing with the responsibility of run support and coverage equally. He is able to engage and disengage with tight ends and fill his gap when needed. He is a fundamental hitter and can redirect and carry while playing in coverage. He has trouble sorting through traffic at times but has great instincts. 

Fun fact: Earned academic all-state recognition with a 4.0 prep gpa

Career stats: 254 tackles, 127 solo tackles, five sacks, two interceptions, one fumble recovery

WR Taylor Grimes, Incarnate Word

The skinny:  Grimes is a good route-runner that has had great and consistent production throughout his career. He is undersized as a receiver and lacks top-end speed. He also played against relatively weak competition throughout his time in college. Arguably his two best games came within three weeks of each other. In the first, he put up a 9-182-4, and in the second, a 12-193-3 stat line. 

Fun fact: Owns the UIW records for single-game receiving touchdowns (4). receiving yards in a game (193), receptions in a game (12), single-season receiving yards (1145), and single-season receiving touchdowns (15).

Career stats: 192 receptions, 2794 yards, 32 touchdowns 

EDGE Thomas Incoom, Central Michigan

The skinny: Thomas Incoom threatens the pocket with quickness off the ball and above-average arc/pursuit speed. He is a strong edge setter in the run game and can stalk and finish cutback runners. He is also a very physical player. He only has one season as a starter at the D-1 level and is already 24 years old. 

Fun fact: Born and raised in the West African country of Ghana and moved to the US at the age of 11. 

Career stats: 145 tackles, 44.5 tackles for loss, 28.5 sacks, two forced fumbles
