Report: Broncos Host TCU S Millard Bradford on Top-30 Visit

Cranking up their pre-draft scouting process, the Denver Broncos recently hosted TCU safety Millard Bradford on an official top-30 visit, The Draft Network's Ryan Fowler reported Monday.

Bradford (5-11, 191) was a five-contributor and two-time All-Big 12 honoree with the Horned Frogs, for whom he totaled 175 solo tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss, 19 pass deflections, four interceptions, two forced fumbles, and a sack across 58 career games.

The Texas native showed well at February's Scouting Combine, recording a 4.42 forty time — the second fastest among all safeties — and a 38.5-inch vertical jump. However, according to NFL.com's Lance Zierlein, he projects as little more than a late-round flier who could stick on the practice squad.

"Stocky safety lacking the length and speed to make easy scheme projections for him," Zierlein wrote. "Bradford’s inconsistencies as a tackle finisher will be a disqualifier for some teams. In coverage, he plays with good field recognition and is fairly athletic in man coverage but lacks the length and burst to make enough plays on the football. His physical limitations could make it an uphill battle to stick on a roster."

If selected, Bradford would join a Denver safety room in transition sans Justin Simmons — a room led by free-agent addition Brandon Jones and incumbents PJ Locke, Caden Sterns, and JL Skinner.
