Per the team, thirteen undrafted rookies have made the team's opening day roster over the past ten years.  Back in the day, Denver's Chris Harris, Wesley Woodyard, and Wes Welker were all undrafted.

These players are a long shot to make it in the NFL (or even make the 53-man roster), but it can be done.
