Congrats to Nate Adkins!

After going undrafted he signed as a free agent with Denver — and made the final 53-man roster.

Hope he makes some more one handers. What a clutch player!

That was amazing. He reminds me of DeMarco.

He just wrote his ticket to a long career in football if that is what he wants

just making an NFL roster will get you tons of coaching opportunities in high school or even college if so desired.

‘Those guys have answered the bell’: Four undrafted rookies earn spots on Broncos’ initial roster

Tight end Nate Adkins, outside linebacker Thomas Incoom, running back Jaleel McLaughlin and tackle Alex Palczewski made strong impressions with their training camp performances.

Great comments! Somebody was watching game film of Nate.
Sean Payton is the real deal. Nate is in good hands.

A 6-foot-3, 252-pound tight end from South Carolina, Adkins' contributions on offense and special teams made him an offseason target for the Broncos' front office. His consistency and football IQ helped him emerge as a difference-maker during Denver's three preseason games, and he had receptions in the Broncos' preseason matchups against the 49ers and Rams.
"He's a guy we had targeted throughout the process just like [RB] Jaleel [McLaughlin]," Paton said. "We almost drafted him. It just didn't fall. We didn't have a lot of picks. We were really fortunate to get him as an undrafted free agent. He's been everything we thought. ... He's a coach's dream because he can do so many different things."

Yeah, I think he will see actual PT

Tight ends who can block and catch are rare. Adkins is one of the best blockers I’ve seen — for a player at any position. Indeed reminds me of DeMarco.

Nice.

Maybe the most underutilized player on the team last season. He was the MVP of the Clemson game.
