While Kris Abrams-Draine’s conversations with Denver were limited, his game tape was enough to sell general manager George Paton and head coach Sean Payton on the idea he could be a valuable asset …
Missouri defensive back Kris Abrams-Draine defends against Missouri wide receiver Demariyon Houston during the second half of an NCAA college football game against Tennessee Saturday, Nov. 11, 2023, in Columbia, Mo. Missouri won 36-7. The Missouri cornerback had only a couple of meetings with Denver during the pre-draft process, but that didn’t stop the organization from selecting him in the fifth round.
“I’m just blessed to be in this opportunity,” Abrams-Draine said. “I waited on it all the time. I kept faith.” “We always said that we want to finish on or with the ball,” said Pogue, who has been at Missouri since 2022. “If Kris could put his hands on the ball, it was more than likely that he would come away with it.”
Abrams-Draine’s versatility helped make him attractive to the Broncos. He played 664 snaps at outside corner, 72 in the slot, 16 as a free safety and 60 in the box in 2023,The Tigers put him in the slot on their nickel packages to open up their defensive playbook, according to Pogue. He was also used in the return game, totaling 603 yards on 29 kick returns at Missouri.Keeler: If Broncos want Julian Edelman, Mines legend John Matocha is up for switch from QB to WR.
Abrams-Draine didn’t expect the Broncos to call his phone last Saturday.
