At least a dozen former Denver Broncos<\/a> players are set to suit up in the United Football League this spring.<\/p>\n Six cornerbacks, two wide receivers, two linebackers, one offensive lineman and one punter are spread across five of the UFL’s eight teams this season. The list of former Broncos includes second-round draft pick KJ Hamler and third-round draft pick Michael Ojemudia, plus a pair of former sixth-round picks.<\/p>\n Hamler (5-9, 178 pounds) is the most notable name on the list. The 26-year-old speedster battled various injuries during his time in Denver, missing 27 of the team’s 50 games from 2020-2022 before being released with a\u00a0non-football illness<\/a> in 2023. The wide receiver was later diagnosed with pericarditis, a heart irritation.<\/p>\n After treating his heart condition, Hamler spent time with the\u00a0Indianapolis Colts<\/a>\u00a0(2023) and\u00a0Buffalo Bills<\/a> (2024-2025) before joining the Orlando Storm this spring.<\/p>\n Ex-Broncos players in UFLWR KJ Hamler (Orlando Storm)WR Seth Williams (DC Defenders)OL Zack Johnson (Birmingham StallionsCB Michael Ojemudia (St. Louis Battlehawks)CB Kary Vincent (Houston Gamblers)CB Quinton Newsome (Houston Gamblers)CB Lamar Jackson (Orlando Storm)CB Micah Abraham (Orlando Storm)CB Mario Goodrich (Birmingham Stallions)LB Christopher Allen (Houston Gamblers)OLB Pita Taumoepenu (St. Louis Battlehawks)P Colby Wadman (Birmingham Stallions)Need a news break?
