This week, following the draft, the Denver Broncos brought in quite a few undrafted free agents for an opportunity to make the roster and hopefully fill some needs. One of them in particular I am excited about, and you will see why.
I will do a separate blog for each player, with 17 of them…I think they all deserve their own post.
Chris Baker, Defensive Lineman out of Hampton
This is a very intriguing pick up to me. Baker played for a couple years at Penn State then one at Hampton. He was likely not drafted based on some personal issues versus talent, but he has a lot of potential in the league I think. Denver was apparently not very impressed with the draft class for defensive lineman although it was a major need and instead they think they found some options in the undrafted class. Baker is a big guy coming in at 6′2″ and around 326lbs. I expect him to battle Ron Fields and Carlton Powell for the NT spot now that Denver will be shifting to a 3-4 defensive scheme (at least in part…I expect a hybrid this year)
