On top of wide receiver Travis Wilson, the Denver Broncos also siged defensive end Ryan McBean and running back P.J. Pope.

Colorado Buffalos fans may remember Ryan McBean, who had a heck of a career playing for the Oklahoma State Cowboys as a defensive tackle. He was drafted in the fourth round in 2007 by the Pittsburgh Steelers, he only made one appearance with the Steelers last season. He has never missed a game in his career due to injury. McBean is very quick off the ball and probably best utilized in the NFL as a 3-4 defensive end.

P.J. Pope was signed by the Chicago Bears as a unsigned free agent in 2006, out of Bowling Green. Pope also spent some time with the Green Bay Packers, before being cut, in August 2007 and re-signed by the Bears.  Pope was nominated for the Doak Walker award in 2004, as a member of the Bowling Green team, in college. Another former Bear, Cedric Benson went on to win the award. Pope has yet to accumulate any stats as a player in the NFL.
