Former Denver Broncos second-round draft pick KJ Hamler has signed with the UFL’s Orlando Storm, giving the league one of its biggest splash signings just a month before the start of its inaugural season.
Selected 46th overall in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Hamler was brought in with the expectation of becoming Denver’s primary deep-threat. He was seen as a potential answer to the Chiefs’ Tyreek Hill, someone who could consistently stretch defenses downfield. The Broncos leaned heavily into wide receiver that year, selecting back-to-back pass catchers and pairing Hamler with first-round pick Jerry Jeudy.
