WEST POINT, N.Y. – Army defensive back Marquel Broughton has received an invitation to participate in rookie minicamp with the Denver Broncos.

His 244 career total tackles finished as the 8th most by any Army defender since 2000.

The Denver Broncos Rookie minicamp will take place on May 12-14.
He joins fellow teammate linebacker Andre Carter II, who received an undrafted free agent opportunity to play in the NFL from the Minnesota Vikings. The Minnesota Vikings Rookie minicamp will take place on May 12-14.
