Karene Reid, an undrafted free agent linebacker signed by the Denver Broncos following the 2025 NFL Draft, is showing promise in his bid for a spot on the 53-man roster. Standing at 6-0 and weighing 228 pounds, Reid played a significant role at the University of Utah, where he logged 238 tackles, including 20 for loss, and made notable contributions with 9.0 sacks and 3 interceptions over four years. The Broncos have taken a keen interest in Reid, offering him one of the largest guaranteed contracts among undrafted players this season.

With veteran linebacker Alex Singleton recovering from a torn ACL and nearing the end of his career at 31, the Broncos are eager to evaluate younger talent like Reid during the upcoming preseason. His initial performance could determine not just his future with the team, but also the overall dynamic of the Broncos' linebacker corps, particularly as they seek fresh energy on defense.
