Denver Broncos Reunite with Veteran Fullback Mike Burton
The Denver Broncos have announced the re-signing of veteran fullback Mike Burton, marking a significant move to bolster their roster. Burton, who has been an integral part of the Broncos’ lineup over the past two seasons, will return for his 11th year in the NFL.
Since joining the Broncos, Burton has appeared in all 34 regular-season games, making a substantial impact on both offense and special teams. In the 2024 season, he played 16% of the team’s offensive snaps and an impressive 62% of their special teams snaps.
Throughout his illustrious career, Burton has accumulated an impressive 147 game appearances, starting 22 contests. He has recorded 42 career carries and 31 receptions, scoring a combined four touchdowns. The Lions initially selected Burton in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft, and he has since had stints with the Bears, Commanders, Saints, and Chiefs.
Burton’s re-signing is the latest in a series of moves by the Broncos to retain key players. The team has also secured the services of defensive tackle D.J. Jones, quarterback Jarrett Stidham, long snapper Mitchell Fraboni, tackle Matt Peart, and inside linebacker Justin Strnad.
The reunion with Burton is expected to provide stability and depth to the Broncos’ lineup, particularly on special teams. As the team gears up for the upcoming season, Burton’s experience and versatility will undoubtedly be valuable assets in their pursuit of success.
