The Denver Broncos have finalized their 53-man roster ahead of the new season, featuring a mix of expected selections and surprising omissions.
Veterans Tim Patrick and Jonas Griffith were surprisingly waived, while undrafted rookies Blake Watson and Frank Crum made the cut amidst fan skepticism about their abilities.
Head coach Sean Payton defended Crum's selection, highlighting his potential and impressive size, despite a lackluster preseason performance.
With considerable improvement needed in pass protection, Crum's development could position him as a future key player for the Broncos.
