Brett Rypien, perhaps the most recognizable name among the Denver Broncos’ class of undrafted free agents, will conclude this year’s undrafted spotlight series.

Rypien was a top recruit coming out of high school and settled on Boise State. Brett, the nephew of former NFL quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Mark Rypien, has long had his sights set on the NFL.

At Boise State, he passed for 13,578 yards, a Mountain West Conference all-time record, breaking the mark set by Ryan Lindley in 2011. He also threw 90 touchdowns compared to just 29 interceptions.

Many teams had a draftable grade on Rypien and it was a bit of a surprise that he wasn’t selected. He can line up under center, so he’s not one of these gimmicky college quarterbacks that only lined up in shotgun during his college career. He’s an intelligent quarterback who feels pressure and climbs the pocket well. He also moves the safeties with his eyes better than most quarterbacks at the college level are able to do.

Rypien was connected to the Broncos early on in the draft process as the team spoke to him in preparation for the East-West Shrine Game.

He will be one of four quarterbacks on the roster and will be in direct competition with journeyman Kevin Hogan for the No. 3 job.

Chance to make final roster (1-10 scale): 6

The Broncos know who their top two quarterbacks are as Joe Flacco will start the season and second-round pick Drew Lock will be given every chance to show that he is the future. Will the Broncos keep a third quarterback on the 53-man roster?

If the answer to that question is yes than Rypien has probably the best chance of any undrafted free agent on the roster to make the team. All he would have to do is outperform Hogan who is with his fourth NFL team. For his career, Hogan has completed 59.4 percent of his passes and thrown four touchdowns with seven interceptions.

The Broncos definitely like Rypien. They spoke with him down at the East-West Shrine Game and wasted no time in signing him right after the draft. He has to be considered the favorite to win the No. 3 job despite the fact that Hogan does have some NFL playing experience.

Rypien will be one of the most interesting players to follow this summer.
