The Denver Broncos had a virtual pre-draft visit on Zoom with South Carolina’s Trey Knox last month, the tight end confirmed during a recent interview with The Draft Network’s Justin Melo.
Knox (6-3, 240 pounds) did not run a 40-yard dash at the NFL combine after working his way back from a hamstring injury, but he did run a 20-yard shuttle in 4.54 seconds.
Knox spent four years at Arkansas, originally playing as a wide receiver. In 45 games with the Razorbacks, Knox hauled in 81 receptions for 883 yards and nine touchdowns, including five scores in 2022.
Knox transferred to South Carolina ahead of the 2023 season. Playing as a tight end last fall, he totaled 37 receptions for 312 yards and two scores.
Knox is projected to go undrafted later this month, but it’s possible he could be a late-round pick. The Broncos do not currently hold a pick in the seventh round, so barring a trade, he is likely an UDFA candidate for Denver.
The 2024 NFL draft will be held in Detroit from April 25-27.
