Broncos Wire’s 90-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at fourth-year long snapper Mitchell Fraboni, No. 48.
Before the Broncos: Fraboni (6-2, 223 pounds) went undrafted in 2018 after playing college football at Arizona State. He went to rookie minicamp with the Houston Texans that spring but was not signed. After competing at minicamp with the Arizona Cardinals in 2019, Fraboni played in The Spring League in 2020. He then worked out for the Chicago Bears and was later invited back to Houston and signed with the Texans in 2021. After failing to make Houston’s 53-man roster, Fraboni was picked by the Pittsburgh Maulers in the 2022 USFL draft.
Broncos tenure: After impressing in the USFL, Fraboni was signed to Denver’s practice squad midway through the 2022 season. After playing in four games that year, he took over as the full-time long snapper in 2023.
Chances to make the 53-man roster: Near lock. Fraboni is the only long snapper currently on the 90-man offseason roster, so his job appears to be pretty safe. The Broncos might bring in competition this summer, but Fraboni seems likely to continue handling long snapping duties in 2024.
