Ex-Broncos running back quickly finds new NFL team
It didn't take long for Jaleel McLaughlin to find a new NFL home.
Jaleel McLaughlin, a former running back for the Denver Broncos, has swiftly found a new NFL team. According to a report by Tony Grossi of TheLandOnDemand.com, the Cleveland Browns have signed McLaughlin to their practice squad. McLaughlin will join former Denver fullback Michael Burton in Cleveland, just two days after being waived by the Broncos.
McLaughlin, who stands at 5-7 and weighs 187 pounds, was initially signed by the Broncos as an undrafted free agent in 2023, following an impressive college career at Notre Dame College (Division II) and Youngstown State (FCS). Throughout his first two seasons with the Broncos, he amassed a total of 1,142 yards from scrimmage and scored six touchdowns.
However, he was relegated to the fourth position behind Tyler Badie in 2025. Despite this setback, the Broncos' general manager, George Paton, admitted that it was a challenging decision and one of the team's final cuts.
With the regular season on the horizon, the Broncos will field a quartet of running backs: J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey, Jonah Coleman, and Badie. McLaughlin, on the other hand, will have the opportunity to make a fresh start with the Browns, serving as an option behind Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson.
