Broncos coach Gary Kubiak clearly wants to bring a fullback into his offense once again.

Denver was awarded former Saints fullback Toben Opurum off waivers on Tuesday. The club waived tight end Anthony Norris to make room for Opurum on the 90-man roster.

Opurum went undrafted out of Kansas in 2013. He started his collegiate career as a running back before moving to linebacker as a sophomore. The 25-year-old moved back to the other side of the ball as a pro, signing with the Chiefs in 2013. But Kansas City cut him and he landed with the Texans late in the 2013 season.

In December 2014, he joined the Saints' practice squad and was briefly on their 53-man roster last season. Most of his NFL experience has come in the preseason.

A few weeks back, the Broncos spent a sixth-round draft pick on Nebraska fullback Andy Janovich. He and Opurum will compete at that position. This squad will likely carry only one fullback. Janovich probably goes in with the upper hand because the organization invested a draft pick in him.
