Yahoo Sports NFL on Justin Joly
ArticleAcclimating to the 2026 Denver Broncos 53-man roster
From the article
Justin Joly was the No. 152 pick overall. I believe that makes him the highest pick waived by the Broncos at the roster deadline as a rookie since Maurice Clarett in 2005 (No. 101).

No. 152 pick Joly waived at roster deadline, highest draft cut since Clarett in 2005.
The source reports that Joly, the No. 152 overall pick, was waived by the Broncos at the roster deadline as a rookie—the highest draft pick waived by Denver at this stage since Maurice Clarett (No. 101) in 2005. Despite preseason performances including 1 reception for 0 yards against Atlanta, 2 receptions for 10 yards against Green Bay, and a breakout 2 receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown against Minnesota, Joly failed to make the final 53-man roster. The source notes that the Broncos do not casually cut high draft picks without cause, suggesting Joly's poor overall training camp and preseason participation warranted the decision.
