#Broncos sign WR Darrius Shepherd, source confirms to #Denver7. Played with #Packers in 2019-20 when Hackett was there. Caught 5 passes. Former North Dakota State standout also had stint in USFL. Adds depth to WR room following Patrick injury. @BKDenverSports
had first.
Really hope he sticks as a reliable rout runner. Realistic upside for him is probably a slot WR and a WR3 or WR4, right?
what was his 1st play they were buzzing about?
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
Good place for Shep and with a former Coach. Really hope he can stick on the roster. The NFL recently (Covid years) changed the practice squad rules so now they allow 16 instead of 10(?) and I think they also allow more "veterans" instead of guys with minimal active game experience. Which is great because I think he wouldn't qualify for the old practice squad rules with his 2 partial seasons active on GB.
