Broncos spoke with late-round LB prospect at NFL combine

Even after signing Dre Greenlaw, the Denver Broncos could still look to add more help at inside linebacker this spring.

One prospect to keep an eye on is Oklahoma State linebacker Nick Martin, who told the Denver Gazette's Chris Tomasson he spoke with the Broncos a “couple of times” at the NFL combine last month.

Martin (5-11, 221 pounds) ran a 40-yard dash in 4.53 seconds and bench-pressed 225 pounds 26 times at the combine. He had a breakout year in 2023 with 140 tackles, six sacks, two interceptions, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in 14 games.

Martin then missed seven games in 2024 with a knee injury. In the five games he played last fall, the linebacker totaled 47 tackles, two pass breakups, one sack, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. NFL mock drafts now have Martin projected as a late-round pick.

The Broncos hold three picks in the sixth round of this year's NFL draft (April 24-26).
