The Denver Broncos have concluded their rookie minicamp, giving the team three practices and a first look at the newest roster members, including quarterback Bo Nix

The Broncos hosted several NFL hopefuls, looking for players that could fit the team's current vision. But it seems that no changes will be made, at least for now. 

This means that the Broncos have opted against giving contracts to notable tryout players John Matocha and Matthew Jester. 

Matocha played at the Colorado School of Mines and set the all-time touchdown record for all of college football as totaled 190 touchdowns at the school. 

As for Jester, it seemed the team could be working up a role for him to come aboard and maybe become the team's "joker" on offense, but if that was a plan, it has been shelved for now. 

In addition to all of the team's draft picks, undrafted free agents and 27 rookies that were invited, the following current Broncos were also allowed to take part in the minicamp:

Tyler Badie, RB
Art Green, CB
Jordan Jackson, DL
Demontrey Jacobs, OT
Devon Key, S
Durell Nchami, LB
Will Sherman, OG
Keidron Smith, DB
Reese Taylor, CB

For the rookies that were invited, though a contract was not immediately offered, they will stay on the team's radar in case something comes up during the summer.
