Broncos Wire's 91-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at rookie wide receiver Dane Key, No. 32. Note: During the offseason, offensive and defensive players can share a number, and Key is currently sharing No. 32 with cornerback Ahmari Harvey. If they both end up making the team, one of Key or Harvey will have to change their jersey number before the regular season.
Before the Broncos: Key played three years at the University of Kentucky from 2022-24, where he caught 126 passes for 1,870 yards and 14 touchdowns, before transferring into the Big Ten to go to Nebraska in 2025. In his final collegiate season, Key caught 39 passes for 452 yards and five touchdowns, averaging 11.6 yards per catch.
Broncos tenure: Key was named a priority free agent prospect by NFL.com's Lance Zierlein prior to the NFL draft. After going undrafted, Dane Key was scooped up by the Denver Broncos to join his brother, 2025 All-Pro Devon Key, on the same roster for the first time in their lives.
Chances to make the 53-man roster: Long shot. Although Key has the potential to carve out a role like Michael Bandy, Key's lack of special teams experience may hurt him. He may have to pay his dues by trying out the special teams unit, or put on one heck of a showing in training camp to make his mark on coaches and teammates. Key might be primarily competing for a spot on the practice squad this summer.
