Will Sherman has been a practice squad player so far in his short time with the Broncos. Can he make the jump in 2025?

Will Sherman entered the NFL in 2021, drafted by the New England Patriots in the 6th round. After a short career there, the Denver Broncos signed him in September of 2022.

He’s been a practice squad player since that time with the Broncos and has yet to crack the depth chart for a roster spot with the team.

How he fits with the Broncos

Sherman brings versatility to the Broncos, which can be valuable to have in a backup player. He can play both tackle and guard and has been working on snapping as well in recent years. He’s shown a penchant for winning his battles when run blocking.

The question with versatile guys always becomes one about what they can excel at. Sherman, in his short stint with the Broncos, has yet to show that he’s better than any of the four guards in front of him in the depth chart.

Final Word

Sherman is going to need to really wow in training camp this offseason, or his career with the team is likely over. Most linemen don’t get 4 years to develop before teams look to go younger.

He’s only on a 1 year contract for ~$800k this season, but it is not guaranteed. He needs to show the coaches that he can outplay at least Nick Gargiulo, Clay Webb, and Calvin Throckmorton if he wants to keep that paycheck in 2025.
