Broncos roster: OLB Andrew Farmer (No. 53) seeking breakthrough

Broncos Wire's 90-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at third-year outside linebacker Andrew Farmer, No. 53. Before the : Farmer (6-3, 252 pounds) played collegiate football at Lane College, an HBCU (Historically Black College or University) in Jackson, Tennessee. After totaling 114 tackles and 17.5 sacks in his final two seasons with the Dragons, Farmer signed with the USFL's Michigan Panthers before ultimately changing his mind, deciding to join the Los Angeles Chargers for the 2023 season. In 2023, Farmer played in eight games, making three total tackles (two solo, one assisted). Farmer began the 2024 season on the Chargers' practice squad before being released by Los Angeles in early September. The Denver Broncos quickly signed Farmer to their practice squad later in September. Broncos tenure: Prior to being signed by the Chargers, the Broncos "spent considerable time" with the linebacker at the 2022 Hula Bowl, so he was not unfamiliar to the team. Farmer spent the rest of the 2024 season on the Broncos' practice squad. Chances to make the 53-man roster: Likely competing for a practice squad spot. The Broncos know Farmer's value, and he's likely a strong candidate to spend another season on the practice squad. If any injuries should arise to the starting OLB corps, Farmer could be a candidate to be elevated to the active roster in 2025. Related: These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans.

Texas A&M senior Edge is using his All-SEC team snub as 'fuel to the fire' this season

Texas A&M's 2025 pass rush will more than likely be led by senior edge Cashius Howell, who returned for his final collegiate season after defensive linemen Nic Scourton, Shemar Turner and Shemar Stewart departed for the NFL, leaving the former Bowling Green standout as one of the best players on the roster. However, Howell, who recorded four sacks and seven pass deflections in a rotational role last season, has been snubbed by several preseason watch lists. After Wednesday's sixth and first padded preseason practice, Howell spoke to the media members in attendance, and was asked about one of the more significant preseason snubs after he was left off the the preseason All-SEC team, which included running back Le'Veon Moss (first team) offensive linemen Ar'maj Reed-Adams, Trey Zuhn III and Chase Bisontis named to the second team. At the same time, cornerback Will Lee III and linebacker Taurean York were named to the third team on defense. While York has certainly done enough on the field to garner first or second team honors, the fact that Howell wasn't even considered a third team defensive linemen was quite surprising, esepecially after finishing the year as the team's top rated pass rusher per Pro Football Focus. However, Howell is taking the high road, and, just like his low recruiting ranking, the Missouri native isn't worried about the national perception. 'You're talking to a guy who was once rated 2,000th best player in my class. I'm used to not getting picked and overlooked so it just adds fuel to the fire for me.' At 6'4" and over 250 pounds, coach Mike Elko taking over as the program's defensive play caller is good news for Howell, who will be in perfect postion to rush the passer and eliminate stretch runs, capitalizing on his impressive play at the end of the 2024 campaign.

New Texas A&M TE expected to bring 'an awful lot of value' to the 2025 roster

Texas A&M's 2025 tight end rotation will now include former Alabama and Texas junior Amari Niblack, who, outside of a forgettable 2024 season with the Longhorns, looked like an ascending receiving threat for former Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe during his 2023 freshman season. Standing at 6'4" and nearly 250 pounds, Niblack is an elite athlete who should rebound in OC Collin Klein's system. Niblack's impressive speed at his size is similar to that of Texas A&M's freshman wide receiver Jerome Myles, who has reportedly been turning heads this offseason after recovering from a knee injury during his final high school season in 2024. This week, during Texas A&M's appearance at the annual SEC media days, head coach Mike Elko was asked about Niblack's addition to the roster, which has been nationally underrated after reeling in just five receptions for 33 yards with the Longhorns. Wasting players' skill sets is harmful to their future playing prospects, and while Texas HC Steve Sarkisian attempted to turn him into a full-time blocking tight end, Niblack is a hybrid receiver who needs to be utilized in the seam and find openings against zone coverage to provide quarterback Marcel Reed with another target in the passing game. Elko agrees, stating that Niblack will finally be utilized as a hybrid option in Collin Klein's offense. "Amari Niblack is an interesting one because he had spent time with coach Holmon Wiggins at Alabama." "We feel like he's a hybrid kid that adds an awful lot of value with what he can do in the receiving game." The Holmon Wiggins connection is also key, as it is likely that the scheme Alabama ran during the 2023 season has been studied to help let Niblack loose this coming season. Niblack does stand out among the rest of the 2025 tight end rotation, which includes Theo Melin Öhrström, transfer Nate Boerkircher, and Micah Riley, who are primarily blockers.
