Broncos host 2 pass rushers for free-agent tryouts
The Broncos brought in a pair of pass rushers for tryouts on Tuesday.
The Denver Broncos held tryouts for two pass rushers on Tuesday. The players, Ron Stone Jr. and Tony Anyanwu, were evaluated by the team as part of their offseason roster. Stone, the son of a two-time Super Bowl champion, impressed during his tryout and was subsequently signed to the 91-man roster. Anyanwu, standing at 6-2 and weighing 249 pounds, had a successful college career before transferring to Rice during the 2025 season.
He recorded 47 pressures, 32 hurries, and eight quarterback hits in the American Conference last fall, along with 6.5 sacks for the Owls in 2025. Stone, measuring 6-3 and 257 pounds, spent the past two seasons in the United Football League, racking up four sacks with Michigan Panthers and 5.5 sacks with Columbus Aviators during the spring.
After Tuesday's practice, Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph mentioned that Stone is expected to receive substantial playing time in Friday's preseason finale against the Minnesota Vikings. Stone practiced on Tuesday and will have another practice on Wednesday before making his on-field debut.
