The Denver Broncos hosted a tryout for former Los Angeles Chargers' outside linebacker Chris Rumph II, a 26-year-old edge defender who joined the Chargers in the 2021 NFL draft from Duke. Rumph, standing at 6-2 and 244 pounds, played 37 games over four years with the Chargers, contributing 39 tackles, nine quarterback hits, three sacks, and one forced fumble as a rotational player on defense, also seeing action in special teams.
Despite the tryout, the Broncos did not extend an offer to Rumph, as reported by the Denver Gazette's Chris Tomasson. Rumph's father, Chris Rumph, has a background in football as a former player and coach, currently serving as the defensive line coach at Clemson. The younger Rumph's performance during the tryout did not result in an immediate signing with the Broncos, indicating that the team may be exploring other options for its roster.
