Before the Broncos: Newsome (6-1, 185 pounds) played five years of college football at Nebraska, earning honorable mention All-Big Ten honors in 2023 and 2022. In his final three seasons with the Cornhuskers, Newsome totaled 138 tackles, 17 pass breakups, three sacks and one interception. A converted safety, Newsome can play as a cornerback or nickelback.
Broncos tenure: Denver signed Newsome as a college free agent in May. He's set to compete for a spot on the roster during training camp and preseason this summer.
Chances to make the 53-man roster: Long shot. The Broncos have more experienced options at cornerback and safety, so Newsome will likely be competing for a spot on the practice squad as a rookie.
