Broncos host 3 cornerbacks for tryouts

Christian Holmes wasn’t the only defensive back who visited the Denver Broncos on Monday.

The Broncos also brought in cornerbacks Zech McPhearson and Damarion Williams for tryouts, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.

McPhearson (5-11, 191 pounds) entered the league as a fourth-round pick out of Texas Tech with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2021. He played in 33 games from 2021-2022 and totaled 30 tackles, two pass breakups and one sack. McPhearson then missed the entire 2023 season with a torn Achilles. He is healthy now, but McPhearson did not make Philly’s 53-man roster.

Williams (5-10, 180 pounds) was picked by the Baltimore Ravens in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL draft out of Houston. He totaled 24 tackles and two pass breakups in 14 games as a rookie before missing all but one game in 2023 with an ankle injury. Williams was waived by Baltimore last week.

Holmes (6-1, 205 pounds) had his visit reported earlier today. A former seventh-round pick, Holmes has spent time with the Washington Commanders and New York Giants.

Denver’s 53-man roster and 17-player practice squad are both full, so if the Broncos add any cornerbacks, the team will have to cut somebody to make room for any potential new arrivals.
