Broncos sign cornerback and returner Sean Fresch from UFL

The Denver Broncos have signed cornerback and returner Sean Fresch, formerly of the UFL, as reported by 9NEWS Denver's Mike Klis. To accommodate Fresch on the 90-man roster, the team waived cornerback Paul Manning. Fresch, who stands at 5-8 and weighs 173 pounds, had two sacks and led the UFL in punt return yards with 333 last season. He faces competition for a roster spot from several other cornerbacks, with standout players like Pat Surtain II and Riley Moss already secured. Fresch’s contributions as a returner may be significant, especially given the uncertain contract status of All-Pro punt returner Marvin Mims Jr. Fresch aims to secure a position on the Broncos’ 53-man roster or practice squad during the upcoming minicamp.
