ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos signed former HutchCC cornerback Art Green to the 16-man practice squad. He was waived on Tuesday as the team worked their roster down to the 53-man limit.
Green, an undrafted free agent, impressed the Broncos during training camp, but did not make the final 53-man roster. However, the team is still high on his potential and hopes to develop him further on the practice squad. This move gives Green the opportunity to continue honing his skills and potentially earn a spot on the active roster in the future.
Green was a priority undrafted free agent signing by the Broncos after the 2023 NFL Draft and was given the most guaranteed deal of all their UDFA signings at $170,000. While he didn’t make the final cut, the Broncos are still interested in developing the young cornerback.
Green, from Chesterfield, Missouri, signed with Hutchinson Community College in 2018, intercepting six passes in eight games as a true freshman. Green was a top junior college recruit after his second year with the Blue Dragons, signing with Houston before the 2020 season. He played in eight games off the bench that year (10 tackles, two pass breakups). He played in all 14 games as a reserve in 2021 (19 tackles, one interception, two pass breakups) and then became a starter in 2022, posting 49 tackles, three for loss, with two interceptions and eight pass breakups to garner second-team All-American Athletic Conference accolades. Green was the Independence Bowl Defensive MVP (nine tackles, one pass breakup).
