Before the Broncos :Pickett (6-1, 180 pounds) was a four-year player at Duke University from 2021-24. In 50 games played, Pickett recorded 101 tackles (66 solo, 35 assisted), five tackles for loss, one sack, two interceptions, 16 pass deflections and one forced fumble. Pickett had his best season in 2024, where he had 38 combined tackles (26 solo, 12 assisted), four tackles for loss, one interception, one forced fumble and seven pass deflections.
Broncos tenure:Pickett signed with the Denver Broncos as an undrafted free agent after the 2025 NFL draft. He will make his NFL debut during preseason this summer.
Chances to make the 53-man roster:Long shot. There are other UDFAs on the 90-man roster who seem to have better odds to end up on the 53-man roster, such as linebacker Karine Reid . Pickett's best chance to make the squad would be on special teams, and he's probably competing for a spot on the practice squad.
