Broncos Wire‘s 90-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at rookie linebacker Karene Reid, No. 47.
Before the Broncos: Reid (6-0, 228 pounds) is a rare player in the NIL landscape, as he stayed for all four years at the University of Utah, surviving the team’s move from the Pac-12 conference to the Big 12. In four years, Reid played in 43 career games, making 238 total tackles (109 solo, 129 assisted, 20 tackles for loss) 9.0 sacks, 10 pass deflections, one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries (one for a touchdown), three interceptions (one for a touchdown).

Broncos tenure: Reid joined the Denver Broncos as an undrafted free agent after the 2025 NFL draft, the teammate of Denver’s seventh-round draft pick, Caleb Lohner, and 2024 third-round pick Jonah Elliss. Reid will make his Bronco debut during preseason next month.
Chances to make the 53-man roster: Toss-up. Reid received the second-largest guaranteed money total among the team’s undrafted players this spring, so he made our list of the five most likely UDFAs to make the 53-man roster. Alex Singleton is coming off a torn ACL and is 31 years old, so Denver would love to see a young linebacker emerge this summer. Judging from the contract he received, it seems like the Broncos like Reid’s chances.
