Broncos signed G C.J. Davis, formerly of the Panthers.
Davis, at 6-foot-2 and 308 pounds, is a former undrafted free agent out of Pitt. The 25-year-old has zero career appearances and is likely just a camp body.

~Scouting Report - Pitt coaches love Davis' toughness and versatility. He moved inside to center halfway through his senior season as an injury fill-in after starting 37 straight games at left guard. He did not skip a beat, even earning first team All-Big East accolades.
Positives: Stout wide-body inside. … Versatile enough to handle all three interior spots. … Nimble setting up for pass protection. … Quick getting his hands up after the snap and can land his punch. … Puts his man on the ground when run blocking. … Calls blocking assignments, even before shifting to center. … Can anchor and drive his man backward. … Wins the leverage battle in short-yardage situations. … Vocal leader on and off the field, coaches call him a hard worker at practice.
Negatives: His lack of height may make him a better center than guard. … Not fleet-footed when getting ahead of screens. … Ineffective cut blocker. … Relies on his upper-body strength too much instead of moving his feet in pass protection. … Does not always recognize late blitzers. … Holds too long on assist blocks and can't recover to pick up defenders going to the quarterback. … Must lock onto defenders in the open and sustain those blocks more consistently; linebackers can disengage from him too easily.
