Check out these highlights of Broncos tryout WR Max McLeod
The Denver Broncos are gearing up for rookie minicamp this week -- their newly minted rookie draft class, undrafted signees and tryout players will show their goods to the team's coaching staff.
One of the tryout invites is local wide receiver Max McLeod from the Colorado School of Mines, a Division II program. McLeod (6-3, 200 pounds) was a four-year player for Mines, where he hauled in 290 receptions for 4,688 yards and 54 touchdowns with the Orediggers.
At the DII level, McLeod was voted a three-time All-American and set an NCAA record (for all levels) for having at least one reception in 56 straight games. At Mines' pro day, McLeod ran a 4.54 40-yard dash and had a 33-inch vertical. McLeod was the all-time leading receiver in Oredigger history, recording 1,000-yard receiving seasons three straight years (2022, 2023 and 2024). Not only was McLeod a great football player, but he was book smart too, earning his bachelor's in mechanical engineering in 2023.
McLeod is one of at least 25 players to have earned a tryout with the Broncos, and he'll aim to make the 90-man roster prior to training camp in July.

Chicago Sky Rule Player Out for Atlanta Dream Game
Chicago Sky Rule Player Out for Atlanta Dream Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Sky dropped to 2-6 during the 2025 WNBA season after Tuesday's loss to the New York Liberty. The 85 to 66 defeat marked the fifth time that the Sky have lost by 13 points or more this season. Advertisement Angel Reese, who made the 2024 WNBA All-Star team, had her strongest showing of the season, scoring 17 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. She also shot her highest percentage from the floor this season, going 8-for-13, good for 61.5%. Point guard Rachel Banham also played a season-high 27 minutes on Tuesday after starting point guard Courtney Vandersloot tore her ACL in last Saturday's game. Chicago Sky guard Moriah Jefferson (4).Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images With the loss of Vandersloot, who had been averaging 12.0 points and 6.2 assists per game before her injury, the Sky need a point guard to step up and run the offense. Rookie guard Hailey Van Lith has shown promise, but she also has just 79 minutes of WNBA playing time under her belt. Advertisement Veteran guard Moriah Jefferson was acquired by the Chicago Sky last season in a deal with the Connecticut Sun that involved both Banham and Marina Mabrey. However, she is yet to play this season with a leg injury. On Thursday, the Chicago Sky released their injury report for Friday's game against the Atlanta Dream, and Jefferson will remain out with the same injury designation. Jefferson's most productive season came during her rookie year in 2016 when she averaged 13.4 points per game for the San Antonio Stars. She had a resurgence in 2023 playing for the Phoenix Mercury, contributing 10.5 points and 3.6 assists per contest. Advertisement The Sky will rely on Banham once again, the nine-year veteran, as well as Van Lith, who is averaging just 3.7 points and 1.5 assists per game, to handle the point guard duties against the Dream. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET at the Gateway Center in College Park, Georgia.
