What happened: The Denver Broncos have invited former Baylor quarterback Sawyer Robertson to participate in their mandatory minicamp on a tryout basis. Robertson, who went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft, is one of several prospects brought in to provide depth during the offseason program.
Why it matters: With starter Bo Nix limited while recovering from a fractured right ankle, Denver is seeking additional arms for minicamp reps. The move also carries a family connection, as Robertson is the cousin of current Broncos backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham. A strong performance could earn Robertson a spot on the 90-man roster heading into July's training camp.
By the numbers: Sawyer Robertson (Baylor 2025): 3,681 pass yards, 31 TD, 12 INT. Career (34 games): 7,639 pass yards, 61 TD. Denver QB depth: Bo Nix (Starter/Injured), Jarrett Stidham (Backup), Sam Ehlinger (Reserve).
What to watch: Robertson will compete through the three-day minicamp ending June 18 for a contract offer. Observers will watch for Nix's participation levels as he returns to action without a walking boot.
