E.J. Warner Gets Broncos Rookie Minicamp Tryout After Chiefs Look

The invite reflects Denver's need for a rookie‑camp arm under NFL rules that sideline contracted quarterbacks.

Overview

  • Fresno State quarterback E.J. Warner accepted a Denver Broncos rookie‑minicamp invite on Wednesday after a tryout with the Chiefs last weekend.
  • He remains unsigned and will attend as a tryout player seeking a place on the 90‑man roster or the practice squad.
  • Denver is adding arms for rookie camp because under‑contract quarterbacks, including Bo Nix as he rehabs an ankle, are not eligible to participate.
  • Warner started at Temple, Rice and Fresno State and finished college with 10,844 passing yards, 71 touchdowns and 48 interceptions, including a 69.3% completion rate in his final season.
  • At about 5‑foot‑11 and 203 pounds with a 4.82‑second 40, he is seen as a developmental longshot, though his father Kurt has urged teams to give him a shot.
