Taurean York

No. 42 · Rookie

Too small on paper, still the last one standing at the end of draft weekend

The NFL Draft ended. The phone didn't ring. For a lot of players, that's where the story stops.

Taurean York spent his college career at Texas A&M playing linebacker — the position where, if you're a half-inch too short or your arms measure a fraction too short, evaluators start writing notes in the margins. The talent was never the question. The measurements were.

When the final round closed, the Denver Broncos called. Not with a draft pick, but with a contract — the kind teams offer undrafted players they believe slipped through. York signed and now has a training camp to make his case.

The path from here is narrow. Undrafted linebackers don't walk onto rosters; they earn every snap in practice and preseason games while the people who passed on them watch film somewhere else. But York gets his shot. The door is open, which is more than it was 48 hours ago.
