Broncos Wire’s 90-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at fifth-year offensive tackle Matt Peart, No. 79.
Before the Broncos: Peart (6-7, 315 pounds) first made a name for himself at UConn in college, where he played from 2015-19, starting 48 games. As a result of his outstanding work on the line, he was drafted in the third round of the 2020 NFL draft by the New York Giants. Peart dressed for 43 games in the NFC East, getting seven starts in his four years with the Giants.
Broncos tenure: After playing out his rookie contract with the Giants, Peart was signed by the Broncos this offseason to a one-year contract.
Chances to make the 53-man roster: Toss up. Peart’s time with the Giants may not have been the most eye-popping, but there is a talent here. Peart may be looking at time as a swing guard/tackle in 2024. There are some injury concerns, however, as Peart missed most of 2022 with an ACL tear. He’ll get a chance to compete for a spot this summer.
