ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — With their first Day 3 pick, the Broncos added depth to the safety position.
Denver selected Texas safety Caden Sterns with the 152nd-overall pick in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
"I'm thankful, and I'm glad to be a part of the program and to be a Denver Bronco," Sterns said Saturday. "I look up to Justin Simmons and I watch his film all the time. To be able to learn from him is going to mean a lot."
Sterns, a three-year starter for the Longhorns, recorded 172 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, 13 passes defensed and five interceptions during his 29 career games with Texas.
"I have range, I make plays on the ball and I can cover," Sterns said. "I think I'm really versatile as well. I can come down and play man, I can play one-high or two-high, and I can just be around the ball. An inconsistency of mine is tackling. That's something that I'm definitely working on all the time. That is something that I need to clean up to become a complete safety."
