Broncos Wire’s 90-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at rookie defensive back Ja’Quan McMillian, No. 35.
Before the Broncos: McMillian (5-10, 183 pounds) played three seasons at East Carolina University, totaling 127 tackles, 23 pass breakups, 12 interceptions two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 33 games (29 starts). He earned second-team All-American Athletic Conference recognition after the 2021 season.
Broncos tenure: McMillian went undrafted in April and Denver signed him as a college free agent. He’ll make his Bronco debut during preseason next month.
Chances to make the 53-man roster: Denver has a crowded cornerback depth chart so McMillian will face long odds to make the active roster. His ability to play in the slot won’t go unnoticed, though, and McMillian will likely be one of the top candidates for the practice squad if he’s not able to land a spot on the 53-man roster.
