Broncos Wire’s 90-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at rookie offensive tackle Frank Crum, No. 73.
Before the Broncos: Crum (6-7, 315 pounds) spent six years at Wyoming (he had a redshirt freshman season and an extra year of eligibility granted from COVID-19). He started 11 games from 2019-2020 before emerging as a 13-game starter in 2021. He started at right tackle for 12 games in 2022 before moving to left tackle in 2023. He earned first-team All-Mountain West Conference recognition following his final season last fall.
Broncos tenure: NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein projected Crum to be a sixth-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft, but the tackle surprisingly went undrafted. He was one of the top UDFAs available and Denver signed him in May. Crum will compete for a backup OT spot this summer.
Chances to make the 53-man roster: Decent. Crum has a real shot to make the active roster as a backup swing tackle. The Broncos carried four backup offensive linemen last season, including tackle Cam Fleming and swing guard/tackle Quinn Bailey. Fleming remains an unsigned free agent and Crum might be a candidate to fill his backup OT role in 2024.
