According to 9NEWS Denver’s Mike Klis, the Denver Broncos are signing tight end Patrick Murtagh to their practice squad as the 17th man under the International Exemption rule.
As Klis notes, Murtagh is a former Australian Footballer and Decathlete who is attempting to become an NFL tight end. He is a 6’6”, 250-pound tight end who spent last season with the Jacksonville Jaguars and now will spend this season with the Broncos.
The International Player Pathway (IPP) was established in 2017 and aims to provide elite international athletes with the opportunity to compete at the NFL level, improve their skills, and ultimately work to earn a spot on an NFL roster. We have seen the Broncos have multiple IPP players on their roster in recent seasons, including TE Thomas Yassmin last season. Rooki
